Recipe: 3 Tofu Marinades Pressing Tofu

Pressing: Split the block lengthwise. lay several layers of paper
towel on a flat surface; place the tofu cut side down on the towels,
put another couple of layers of paper towel on top, cover with
something flat and rigid (I use a cutting board) and place a weight
on top (I use a gallon jug of brandy :-)
let it sit for 45 minutes or longer; this presses out the excess
water in the tofu, and makes it chewier and less likely to crumble.
It can then be grilled or baked, or cut up for use in stir-fries. I
usually marinate it after pressing. Here are a couple of marinades to
get you started:
1) 1/2 cup light soy 1/2 cup dry sherry 2 tbs fresh grated ginger 2
cloves minced garlic
2) 1/2 cup fresh soy 1/2 cup lime juice 1 TBS ground cumin 1 TBS
olive oil 2 serrano chiles, seeded and diced
3) 1 cup orange juice 3 tbs jamaican jerk sauce
