Instructions

1
Rinse the rice in a fine-mesh strainer under cold water until the water runs mostly clear. Combine the rinsed rice, 2 1/4 cups water, and 1/2 tsp salt in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat to the lowest setting, cover tightly, and cook for 15 minutes, until the water is fully absorbed. Remove from heat and let steam, covered, for 10 minutes.
2
While the rice cooks, press the tofu: wrap the block in a clean kitchen towel or several layers of paper towels, place on a cutting board, and set a heavy skillet on top for 10 minutes. Cut the pressed tofu into 3/4-inch cubes.
