Notes

If you can not find the extra firm or super firm tofu, you will need to press the excess water out by using this method:
  1. Remove the tofu from the water pack and cut it into bite-sized cubes. 
  2. Place the cut cubes in a flat surface lined with paper towels or a clean, lint-free towel.
  3. Place more paper towels on top of the tofu and put a baking sheet on top. 
  4. Put a heavy object on top of the baking sheet and allow the tofu to rest for around 15 minutes.
*You can also press the super firm tofu for extra crispiness.
