First Time Preparing Tofu

I’m gearing up to cook tofu for the first time and I’m wondering—does it really need all that prep work I’ve been hearing about?

Is it necessary to press it for half an hour and marinate it overnight?

Can I simply pat it dry with paper towels and cook it like I would with diced chicken?

    Absolutely, you can certainly simplify the process if you’re looking for a quick and easy way to cook tofu! While pressing the tofu and marinating it can enhance the flavor and texture, it’s not strictly necessary for a basic preparation.

    Here’s a quick guide:

    1. Drying: Patting the tofu dry with paper towels is a good start. This will help it sear better and prevent it from becoming soggy.

    2. Cooking: You can cut the tofu into cubes and cook it as you would with diced chicken. Just make sure your pan or skillet is hot enough, and consider using some oil to help it brown nicely.

    3. Seasoning: Even if you skip the marinade, adding some soy sauce, garlic, or spices while cooking can boost the flavor.

    Enjoy your cooking adventure with tofu! It can be a delicious and versatile addition to your meals.
