Notes
To drain the tofu, place the tofu block onto a plate. Add another plate on top and use something heavy to weigh it down (I used my husband's YETI mug and that seemed to do the job). Tofu is best when drained overnight, but will be ready when the plate is mostly filled with water. Pat the tofu block dry and cut into cubes.
