How to squeeze tofu?
- Wrap tofu in couple of paper towels. Place a Weight on the wrapped tofu. Your weight should be heavy enough to press down evenly across the top of the tofu, but not so heavy so as to cause the tofu block to crumble.
Marinate Tofu
- Mix all marinade ingredients together until smooth.
- Add big cubed tofu to the marinate and mix it very gently making sure to not break the tofu.
- Let tofu marinate for anywhere from 30 min to 6-8 hours. Even keeping it in the fridge to marinate over night is fine too if you want to prepare ahead of time! The longer it marinates, the batter it taste!
Cook Tofu
- Heat 2 tbsp of peanut oil in a big flat pan and crisp marinated tofu, flipping each cube frequently and very gently making sure you don't break it. Enjoy it as it is like finger food or use it in fried rice, noodles, curry or on a buddha bowl!
