When I cook with tofu, I drain it. You would think that draining it means that you put it in a strainer, or simply remove the liquid from the package. But that is not what recipes mean when they instruct you to drain your tofu.
Once you remove the tofu from the package and the liquid that it’s packed in, cut the tofu into the pieces that you will need for the recipe. For my photos in this post, I have cut tofu steaks. I divided my brick of tofu into seven steaks.
Step 1: Lay the tofu pieces on either a towel, or a bunch of paper towels.
Step 2: Cover the tofu pieces with another towel, or a bunch of paper towels.
