 Cut block of tofu lengthwise into 8 equal-sized slices. Set a cutting board


 over the sink and place a double layer of paper towels on top.


 


 Arrange tofu in one layer on cutting board, then top with a clean


 dishtowel. Place a second board on top, then a 4- to 5-pound weight,


 


 such as a thick phone book or heavy pot. Let sit for 20 minutes. Uncover


 tofu and place in one layer in a shallow baking dish. Drizzle with orange


 and soy sauce. Marinate at room temperature for 20 minutes. Broil or grill


 until lightly browned, turning once. Serve chilled or at room temperature.


 Serves 8.


 


 Author's Note:  pressed tofu grills beautifully.  I like this marinated


 version, which is delicious on top of Cold and Spicy Noodles (see recipe)


 or simply as a sandwich filler.
