Instructions
Freezing
- Press: Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain the water. Press the tofu in a tofu press or between two heavy plates for about 15-30 minutes.
- Freeze: You can freeze tofu as a whole block or cut it into slices or cubes. Place the tofu in a freezer-safe bag or container, ensuring all of the air is removed. Freeze it for at least 24 hours for the best texture.
Thawing
- Thaw: Transfer the frozen tofu from the freezer to the fridge and let it thaw slowly. This can take up to 24 hours, so plan accordingly. You can also thaw the tofu at room temperature for a few hours.
- Cook: Cook the frozen tofu as you normally would, whether baked, air-fried, or pan-fried.
Notes
- Storage: Cooked tofu will last in the fridge for 3 days in an airtight container. Reheat in the air fryer or pan fry to get it crispy again.
- Marinate: Marinate your tofu for at least 30 minutes before cooking it so it soaks up all the flavors like a sponge!
- Season it well: Remember to season your tofu well. It’s very plain on its own, so it can handle the marinade!
