Frozen Tofu...
I try to get to the Asian Market in Miami twice a month as they have products not found in the local markets. Tofu, for example comes in larger bricks and less expensive than anything in my neighborhood.It was on sales and we got a few packages. If you have read my previous comments, I dislike Tofu. It has to be cooked with other foods or I will avoid it entirely.
Since we had so much, one package was stored in the freezer and when it was time to use it, thawed and drained. Also, it's a good idea to actually rinse it before cooking.
Here's what I have found. After freezing, the Tofu becomes spongy. When it's cooked with other foods, it readily absorbs the flavor of the other foods.
Sunday, it was Tofu with steak and mushrooms. If I didn't already know, I wouldn't have guessed it was Tofu and the flavor and texture changed. No more thinking Plaster of Paris was added to the recipe!
