ABSTRACT Pressed tofu is prepared by forming curd by adding a coagulant to soybean milk or an aqueous solution of isolated soybean protein wherein the water content of curd thus formed is between 80 and 92% by weight; subjecting the curd to a dividing treatment that is accompanied by syneresis so that the amount of water removed from the curd due to synerisis falls within a range of 4 to 46% by weight of water in the curd; charging the divided curd into a pressing container; and then pressing the divided curd to reduce the water content to atmost 80%, the pressing treatment being carried out with a pressing machine by gradually increasing the pressure from an initial pressure of 0.04 - 0.6 kg/cm2 to a final pressure of 0.8 - 3.2 kg/cm .
