How To Drain Tofu {Video}

When I first became plant-based, I was intimidated by working with tofu. Growing up, my mom never cooked with tofu, and my only experience with it was at restaurants occasionally. Then, when I gave up animal products, a large portion of the recipes I found included tofu. Finally, I took the plunge and tried my hand at cooking with it. I found that it was really easy to cook with, and really versatile.

When cooking with it, the first step is usually to drain it. So, here is a quick video on how to drain tofu. I hope this helps to demystify cooking with tofu just a little bit, and maybe you will be tempted to give it a try.

Also, one quick tip - cooking with extra firm tofu is easier and usually gives a better texture.
