Can I freeze beancurd

Rage_in_Eden

Bought a load of it from the chinese supermarket as I can't have much bread based stuff for lunches on my restricted diet so am going to have beancurd in stir fry sauces with rice a lot (well, millions of chinese can't be wrong!!!). Anyone tried to freeze it before?

Beancurd is the same thing as tofu. I've frozen uncooked tofu before and it's fine - it takes on a firmer, chewier texture that many people prefer. I'm not sure about deep-fried beancurd (which yours could be?) - but I can't see why there would be a problem.

I freeze it raw and cooked. Should be fine, just defrost it properly before eating it!!x

When you freeze raw tofu it takes on a crumbly texture which I love. It then seems to take up marinades better and can be crumbled and used in fried rice instead of egg.

I haven't frozen cooked tofu, but I generally prefer it cooked from frozen because of the reasons above. (Remember to give it a good squeeze to drain it a bit first though.)

I've frozen blocks of Tofu uncooked, and also the Cauldron foods marinated ones.
Both are fine when cooked if they are left overnight to defrost first

if you got the uncooked tofu, its nice, simply steamed, with some chopped spring onions and ginger, and a dash of soya sauce on.

if it is the already deep fried ones, then stiry fry would be nice.
