FAQ

You can put raw tofu in the soup and let it simmer for 10 to 15 minutes to warm and flavor it. Tofu can be eaten raw, so it's no problem to add it raw to soups.
Tofu also contains all the essential amino acids your body needs and is rich in minerals and vitamins, including calcium, manganese, iron and vitamin A. Tofu and other soy foods also are primary source of isoflavones. Those are flavonoids – plant-created chemicals that are associated with a variety of health benefits.
If you skip out on pressing tofu before adding it to soup, it runs the risk of falling apart, losing shape, and mutating into a sloppy, slippery, and soggy mess.
“In some recipes, it doesn't matter,” Nguyen says of whether you need to make an effort to get rid of excess moisture. If you're tossing the tofu in soup, “who cares?” Just pour off the water and you're good to go. Yang says she also doesn't worry as much when it comes to grilling tofu.
Here's the thing: even though tofu might be labeled firm or extra-firm, it contains a lot of water. This excess water can cause the tofu to crumble when you cook it, and it will also have a hard time crisping up. But when you press tofu, you remove the excess moisture.
