Freezing Tofu Tips

[Guest guest]

I always freeze tofu before using. I freeze it, then defrost it by pouring

boiling water over it. Then I rinse it under a cold tap. The texture will be

quite different and sponge like after freezing, so I then squeeze it with my

hands to remove excess water and then leave it for an hour or so with a

weight on top to remove any remaining water. By this time it will be quite

dry and chewy, more of a meat substitute. Finally before using I chop it into

cubes and marinade it with soya sauce. I've never frozen silken tofu, however.
