Draining tofu is something that is hard to get the hang of in the beginning of a veg diet, so I wanted to create this post that might be slightly ridiculous for the veg eaters who are experienced. To be honest, I am only learning with some things still myself, so I plan to share these types of things.
Once you have opened a package of tofu and it says to release the access liquid and then juice or drain or press, go ahead and use these directions:
Tofu is like a sponge, when you drain the tofu of it's liquid, you are making it easier to absorb the flavor you want to put in whether you are marinading or just coating. Additionally, depending on how thick your cuts are on the tofu determines how long you should marinade it, if doing so, as you want to make sure it gets all the way to the middle.
Once you have opened a package of tofu and it says to release the access liquid and then juice or drain or press, go ahead and use these directions:
Juice tofu by wrapping in paper towels and applying pressure between two plates using somethings lightly heavy on top. For example; container of kitchen oil, water bottle, the dish soap next to your sink.
Leave it just like this for 30 minutes to an hour to make sure it's drained enough, simply switching out the paper towels when needed to make sure they're dry enough to absorb the water being released for the tofu.
