Some of your recipes intentionally use frozen tofu. Why?
Many recipes call for tofu that has been frozen and then thawed. This process triggers a
change in the texture of the tofu, making it more chewy and easy to crumble. When
frozen, the moisture within the tofu separates from the bean curd, making it easier to
squeeze all excess water out. The tofu is now spongy and porous, ideal for absorbing
flavors. Tofu can be frozen in its own water or drained and wrapped in plastic until ready
to use. Depending on how you plan to use it, tofu can be cut into slabs or cubes before
freezing, or it can be frozen whole.
