Freeze the shredded tofu in an airtight container. When you are ready to cook, just thaw it and squeeze out any extra liquid. The process of freezing and thawing is the best way to get rid of unneeded water. Tofu is naturally bland and so can absorb strong spices like those used for chili. You can make the dish ahead of time; the flavors will continue to develop and their blend will be more interesting. For a really hearty meal, serve the dish over rice with your favorite chili garnishes.
