Chef's notes
Select the right texture of tofu. Extra-firm is best for serving as a main dish.
Press the tofu to remove excess water for a chewier texture. A tofu press can make this step easier.
Spice it up! Tofu is bland on its own, so proper seasoning is key. Consider marinating it or using the crispy baked tofu recipe provided.
