How do you press tofu? Or do you just have to buy it that way?

Josh, pressing tofu: put drained tofu on plate , place another plate on top of the tofu. Then put a heavy ( 2 pounds or so) object on top plate. Drain a few times , after an hour or a little more, it should be done. Its just easier to work with this way.

we've eaten this three times in the past two weeks! I served it to dinner guests last night with rice noodles instead of brown rice. They loved it!
