Steps:
- Drain the tofu, then wrap in a clean dish towel and place a heavy object, such as a cast iron pan, on top. Press the tofu for 20-30 minutes, until the towel is soaked through.
- Place the pressed tofu back in its container and wrap with reusable wrap. Freeze for at least 6 hours, up to overnight.
- Remove the tofu from the freezer and place in a microwave-safe bowl over a kitchen towel. Defrost in the microwave until completely thawed and the towel is soaked through, 10-15 minutes.
- Wrap the tofu in a clean kitchen towel and press again for another 20-30 minutes, until the dish towel is soaked through and the tofu is half its original thickness.
- While the tofu is pressing, make the marinade: In a medium bowl, whisk together the tamari, maple syrup, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and ¼ cup (60 ml) grapeseed oil.
- Tear the tofu into bite-size pieces that resemble chicken tenders or nuggets. Add the tofu to the marinade and stir to coat. Marinate for at least 30 minutes at room temperature, or up to 1 hour, stirring halfway through.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon of oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the tofu and cook for 4-5 minutes, until browned on one side, basting with some of the marinade. Flip the tofu and cook for another 4-5 minutes, until browned on the other side.
- Serve the tofu as desired.
