Pressed tofu is tofu that has had much of its water squeezed out, resulting in a firmer, denser texture that holds its shape better during cooking.
The pressing process also allows the tofu to absorb marinades and sauces more readily.
You can buy it pre-pressed or press regular tofu yourself by weighing it down: I always use pressed tofu for stir-fries.
