Additional Information
- Tip: For roasted tofu, the denser texture obtained from freezing it is best. To freeze, cut into minimum 1/4-inch (5 mm) thick slices; freeze in single layer in airtight container for up to 1 month. Thaw in refrigerator to use. The longer that tofu stays frozen, the denser it becomes.
