Trying to cut back on bread is challenging, here is a fun a simple recipe you can try and adapt to suit your needs. Psyllium fiber is a soluble dietary fiber with clinically demonstrated health benefits.

Use of psyllium in the diet for three weeks or longer often lowers blood cholesterol levels in people with elevated cholesterol, and can lower blood glucose levels in people with type 2 diabetes. Use of psyllium for a month or longer may produce a small reduction in systolic blood pressure.

Fiber is good for you because it is not absorbed, instead helps move food through your digestive system and other health benefits.

How to Press Tofu

Pressing tofu removes excess water to make it more firm and helps marinades to absorb more easily. Soft or silken tofu is too fragile to press well — use those for creamy dishes like smoothies and dips. Frozen tofu will have an open texture with larger, visible holes.

Steps

To press fresh medium to super-firm tofu, apply gentle, steady pressure.

1. Place tofu between layers of folded paper towels or clean dish towels on a plate.
2. Cover with another flat plate to help distribute the weight.
3. Add enough weight to press out liquid without collapsing the tofu. A large can of food would work.
4. Let the tofu sit for 30 minutes or longer. Replace towels if needed.
5. Cut the tofu into desired pieces and use or freeze.
