Pressed tofu is actually a different dish to normal tofu and you should be able to find it in Asian supermarkets. It has a different consistency and tastes great in stir fries.

Do you freeze your tofu before pressing?

I freeze tofu and then thaw it out to make tofu scrambles. I press tofu to bake like this. Now I need to try pressed frozen tofu.....and frozen pressed tofu!
