Preparation

Press the Tofu
Wrap the firm tofu in a clean kitchen towel or paper towels and place a heavy object on top to press it for about 15-20 minutes. This helps to remove excess moisture.

Chop the Ingredients
While the tofu is being pressed, finely mince the garlic and ginger. Slice the green onions thinly, separating the green parts from the white parts. If using vegetables, chop them into bite-sized pieces.
