— 2 I used tofu when I made this. If you do the same, press the tofu between three sheets of towel paper on the top and the bottom. Put a plate on top and a two pound weight on top of the plate. Wait 20 minutes. 3 These are packaged in a plastic see through flat container and slightly orange in color
1 16-ounce package chantaboon rice sticks, medium thread. I think the spelling of "chantaboon" can also be found as "jantaboon" or something like that.
