I have about 1/2 lb of firm tofu left from a recipe I made today. Can I freeze it?
So--feed it to the chickens?
Tofu gets firmer each time it's frozen and thawed. It won't hurt it at all.I have about 1/2 lb of firm tofu left from a recipe I made today. Can I freeze it?
I think freezing would compromise the texture.
...When you freeze the tofu, the ice crystals will expand and form large bubbles in the tofu, and the texture will become very spongy...

lol, tofu has texture?
of wet cardboard?
i does have a "r" value close to newspaper, though, but doesn't taste as good.
Uhhh, I sense a dichotomy.
I was first introduced to tofu, as "bean curd", back in the '70s. I was a vegetarian and used to joke that I liked "bean curd", but I didn't like tofu. That was because it was called "bean curd" in Chinese restaurants and dippy vegetarians called it tofu and couldn't cook it well to save their lives. At least, that was my experience.
Nowadays, I don't want to see tofu, or "bean curd" on my plate. It's made from soy and that's one of the foods I'm not supposed to eat for health reasons.
I make my own tofu and soy milk. Its too easy to resort to buying the nasty stuff in the plastic boxes.
There is light years between the taste and texture between homemade and the plastic boxed stuff. What a drag that you can't eat it. What does soy do to you, specifically?
My doctor says that estrogenic foods could cause me to have a stroke in my eyeball, which could lead to blindness in that eye! Weird, eh?

my dad had a retinal occlusion, or the eye stroke of which you speak. it's no fun looking through a blood red lace curtain over one eye as he describes it, so be careful taxy.My doctor says that estrogenic foods could cause me to have a stroke in my eyeball, which could lead to blindness in that eye!
