Pat the pressed tofu cubes dry with paper towels. Heat 2 tbsp of the neutral oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the tofu in a single layer and cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes, until the undersides are deep golden and release easily from the pan. Flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes, until golden on the second side. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
