It is made just like regular tofu, but weights (usually wooden planks) are left over the blocks of tofu to express some of the water in it.
This results into a firm or extra firm texture depending on the weight and/or the duration of the press process.
Tofu is made of soy milk curdled with a coagulant such as seawater extract. It is then cut into blocks and pressed under a weight to get firm or extra firm tofu, except for soft tofu which is not pressed.
Tofu can have a rubbery texture, but this largely depends on its type and how it's prepared. Firm and extra-firm tofu may have a denser, chewier consistency, while silken tofu is much softer and smoother. Proper cooking methods, such as pressing, marinating, or sautéing, can enhance the texture and prevent rubberiness. If overcooked, even the firmer varieties can become rubbery.
Tofu itself is not 'watery' as in 'running liquid', but it contains a large quantity of water, even when pressed as firm or extra firm tofu to expel some of the water content. This water is part of the water introduced during the soy milk making process. A minor portion of the water comes from the coagulant agent introduced in the tofu making process, for instance sea water in the case of soft (or silken) tofu.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tofu Tofu is like cheese, but made from soy milk (which is made from soy beans). Tofu can also be made from almonds or black beans. Regular Soy Tofu doesn't have much flavor and can be purchased flavored or plain, and in different textures, like soft, medium and firm.
Tofu needs to contain tofu to be tofu. So yes, tofu contains tofu. Tofu is made from soybeans.

Sure thing. You might want to select a firm variety of tofu instead of a soft variety.
chilled tofu is...tofu is like a white square made of something its just when regular tofu is cold.
Yes and no, tofu is made from soybean, which is a different genus from the regular beans.
ONLY soybean, water and "coagulant". Coagulant is the "thing" that firms the tofu, which turns the soybean liquid to a firm form we called tofu. There are various types of coagulant. (To name it a few: nagiri, lemon, vinegar, and more.)
No, tofu is not a carbohydrate. It is a protein-rich food made from soybeans.
No, tofu is made form soya beans and is therefore a vegtable product.
