Cut the tofu into two even pieces.Place between paper towel and two plates, put something heavy on top, to press out excess water.

 After the tofu has been pressing for about 20mins, remove from paper towel and cut into desired portions.

 

Place a tablespoon of corn flour into a zip-lock bag, add half the tofu, shake to coat then remove from bag and repeat with remaining flour and tofu.

 

 Heat a fry pay over a medium high heat, spray with olive oil. Brown tofu on both sides, then remove the tofu from the pan and set aside.
