Just upgraded to paid. I need more recipes like this in my life. I urgently want to learn to cook tofu in exciting ways. I know it has endless possibilities and I’m here for it. I think it’s going to be the key to get me away from meat. I’ve been vegan curious for years but haven’t been able to make the switch yet. There’s something about the texture and chewiness of meat that I like that I haven’t been able to get away from yet.
First off, thank you so much for the paid sub!! And I totally agree with you - texture in food is so so important. We focus a lot on flavor generally with cooking, but texture is equally, if not more, important for enjoying meals. So glad you’re along for the ride - more texturally satisfying recipes on the way!
Do you recommend using a dedicated tofu press vs a couple of plates with heavy things on top? I don't like having very many single-purpose items in the kitchen, but if it would help streamline the process, I'd get one.
Yes - I do recommend a press. There’s some decent ones on Amazon (although I’ve been trying not to shop there lately). The press is much easier to deal with and gets water out better than just using plates with a towel.

I’ve been avoiding Amazon as well. I go straight to manufacturer when I can.
