Freezing tofu Christie

[Guest guest]

Yes, cooked in chili and frozen will be fine.

I have seen that on tofu packages before and I think

it's because it changes the texture and instead of

printing that on the label it's easier to say do not

freeze.

Hey you ! out there on your own

sitting naked by the phone would you touch me

Hey you ! with your ear against the wall

Waiting for someone to call out would you touch me

Hey you ! would you help me to carry the stone

Open your heart, I'm coming home .

I heard back from the company this morning and the label not to

freeze is indeed because of the change in structure and texture after

freezing. That is good news as I would like to support the company

which is local (just a few streets from where I live) and which

provides employment and training for people with learning

difficulties.

Yesterday I sliced the marinated tofu, pressed it, coated it in

wheatgerm and sesame seeds, sprayed it with low fat cooking spray and

baked it at Gas Mark 6/400F/200C for about 20 minutes, turning once.

Served it with Basmati rice, broccoli, edamame and frozen peas and

topped with an Indonesian satay sauce:

 

3/4 cup canned coconut milk

1/2 cup natural-style peanut butter, smooth

2 garlic cloves, minced

1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder

1 1/2 tablespoons brown sugar

1 tablespoon lime juice

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 1/2 tablespoons tamari soy sauce

Dash cayenne pepper

 

It was lovely. Today I am going to try one of the other recipes

posted yesterday. Thank you for all your suggestions.
