While pressing tofu, shred the carrot and red cabbage as thinly as possible. The thinner the veggies, the better it will marinate when seasoning.
Remove the pressed tofu, slice, and marinate with soy sauce and agave syrup.
In a separate bowl, put in the shredded carrot and all of the seasoning ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, put in red cabbage and all of the seasoning ingredients and mix well. Set aside.
