Steps:
- Drain the tofu, then wrap in a clean dish towel and place a heavy object, such as a cast iron pan, on top. Press the tofu for 20-30 minutes, until the towel is soaked through.
- Place the pressed tofu back in its container and wrap with reusable wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Remove the tofu from the freezer and place in a microwave-safe bowl over a kitchen towel. Defrost in the microwave until completely thawed and the towel is soaked through, 10-15 minutes.
- Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press again for another 20-30 minutes, until the dish towel is soaked through and the tofu is half its original thickness.
- While the tofu is pressing, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and ¼ cup (60 ml) grapeseed oil.
- Tear the tofu into bite-size pieces that resemble chicken tenders or nuggets. Add the tofu to the marinade and stir to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned on one side, basting with some of the marinade. Flip the tofu and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until browned on the other side.
- Serve the tofu as desired.

SHREDDED TOFU AND SHIITAKE STIR-FRY
Shredding tofu on a box grater before stir-frying gives it a fluffy, light texture, and the smaller pieces readily absorb the complex, earthy mushroom flavor of the sauce. Unlike with many tofu dishes, you're not looking to sear the tofu here, just to warm it up in the sauce. The caramelized flavor is supplied by the shiitake mushrooms, which should be cooked until they are well browned and crisp-edged. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can leave it out.

Steps:
- Using the coarse holes of a box grater, shred the tofu. Spread tofu out on a clean kitchen towel to drain while you prepare the sauce and mushrooms.
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, Shaoxing, lime juice and sesame oil.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat until it's very hot, then add the peanut oil; it should thin out on contact. Once the oil is hot, add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until most of the mushroom liquid has evaporated and mushrooms are browned and slightly crisp, 8 to 12 minutes. Stir in the scallion, lemongrass, ginger, garlic, chile and a pinch of salt. Cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
- Carefully transfer the tofu from the towel into the skillet. Toss in the edamame and the soy sauce mixture. Cook until mixture is heated through. Season with salt as needed. Remove from heat and stir in herbs. Serve with lime wedges.

Steps:

Add the garlic and ginger and fry for 1 min more. Tip the tofu mixture into a bowl, pour over half the soy dressing and set aside.
- Add the remaining oil to the wok. Add the vegetables and cook for 5 mins until beginning to turn golden, then add a good splash of water and cook for 3-5 mins more until tender.
- Stir the cornflour and 1 tbsp water into the remaining soy dressing, then tip into the wok, allow to bubble for 30 seconds, stirring to coat everything in the sauce. Sprinkle over the spring onion, sesame seeds and coriander. Serve with rice.
