Place the tofu on a plate with several sheets of paper toweling above and below it and put a weight on it. After an hour or so, slice it into bite-size pieces. Then get a pan with vegetable oil in it real hot and fry the tofu. When it's light brown. Remove and place on some paper toweling to soak up some of the oil.
