Take B12. :vegan-edge:
you can just eat tofu as it is. I prefer silken tofu for that, but if you just make a sauce of some kind and pour it on the tofu it's pretty delicious. I like to do a soy sauce, chili crisp with garlic and green onions. if you fry the aromatics a little bit in oil and mix it, it will be especially good.
if you want to bake it, I would just cut it into bigger slices, pour a dry rub on the top, and bake it for 20-30 min at 400. for dry rub I would use chili powder, black and white pepper, salt, paprika, cumin, coriander.
you can do the pressing, but keep it as one big cube first, wrap in paper towels, put on a plate with a plate on top, and put a can on top of the top plate for 15 min and then cut it into smaller pieces after. this just gets moisture out so that it will be more absorbent of whatever sauce you are putting, but this step isn't really necessary for eating, just changes the flavor and texture a bit for certain meals.
