Drain the Tofu.

Preparing to Press the Tofu

D.Schmidt
Open the package and drain out all the water. If you're planning to use the tofu in a stir-fry, you can go ahead and use as is, OR press the tofu to remove excess water.

For Fried Tofu (as in this recipe), you will need to press it. Place the drained block of tofu in a flat-bottomed bowl (I find a pie plate works well, as pictured here).
