Remove the tofu from its packaging and rinse it under cold water. Cut the tofu into 1-inch cubes.

Press drained tofu using kitchen towels and a heavy object, like a skillet, for 20 minutes. If the towels become saturated, replace them with fresh ones.

Heat a wok or skillet over medium heat. Once it's heated, add the vegetable oil.

Add tofu to the wok in a single layer. Cook without stirring the tofu for about 2 to 3 minutes, until the bottoms begin to brown.

Sprinkle tofu with salt, then stir-fry gently for another 2 minutes.

Add sesame oil and soy sauce to the wok, ensuring all tofu pieces are coated, and stir fry for an additional minute.

Transfer the tofu to a serving dish and serve while hot. Enjoy this as a delicious protein addition to a meal or enjoy it as it is!
