Notes
Don't skip pressing the water from the tofu. Removing as much water as possible will help the tofu crisp up faster. You can use a tofu press or wrap tofu in a tea towel and place something heavy on top for 10-15 minutes. If you're short on time there is pre-pressed tofu available so you can skip this step.
