Just dice or slice it, dust it with corn starch and fry it until crispy. Serve with sauce or in a stirfry. No need for pressing water out. It won’t be rubbery.
I rarely even marinate my tofu, and have never really had issues with it getting rubbery, but the hassle of pressing the water out is enough of a deterrent for me. I’ve considered buying a tofu presser, but I have a small kitchen, so I don’t really like owning such specialized tools.
Really? That’s what I usually buy, but there’s still some liquid in the package, so I’ve always pressed it. I guess I’ll have to try it without pressing some time.
Tofu.
Pressing the water out, marinating for hours, then cooking properly so it’s delicious and not a rubbery mess is just too much hassle.

Get super firm, they are vacuum sealed and pre-pressed. You can skip the pressing step entirely.
