In winter, frozen tofu is a delicacy. However, many people are confused when making frozen tofu. Some people throw the tofu out and freeze it, and some people put it in the refrigerator, but in fact, these two methods are not quite right. Today, I will tell you how to make frozen tofu, and make sure that you can make frozen tofu with large honeycombs and elastic feet.
Method 1: Natural freezing.
1.Start by finding a clean, waterless container.
2.Buy a piece of fresh tofu from the market and cut it into suitable small pieces.
3.Place the sliced tofu cubes tightly in the container without leaving any gaps.
4.Seal the container tightly and keep it outside in a cool place without letting the sun shine.
5.When it's cold, the tofu freezes after a few days. If you see cracks on the surface of the tofu, it means that it is frozen.
6.Finally, put the frozen tofu in the refrigerator and it will last for several months.
Method 2: Quick freezing.
1.Buy a piece of fresh tofu and cut it into small pieces.
2.Put the tofu cubes in a sealed bag, squeeze the air out, and seal the mouth.
3.Put the sealed tofu in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator and freeze it overnight.
4.When I woke up the next morning, the tofu was frozen hard.
5.In the same way, just store the frozen tofu in the refrigerator and store it for several months.
With these two methods, you can easily make delicious frozen tofu. Either way, there are a few things to keep in mind:
1.The container used must be clean and empty, otherwise the tofu is prone to a strange smell when it is frozen, and it may even be broken.
2.When putting tofu, keep it tight, don't leave it empty, or too many ice crystals will be frozen, which will affect the structure of the tofu.
3.Store the frozen tofu in the refrigerator, don't keep taking it out and freezing it, or the taste and quality will not be good.
4.When making frozen tofu, you can do whatever you want, stew, braised or boiled. It is important to note that the structure of frozen tofu is destroyed, and it is easy to absorb the soup when cooking, so add more water or stock.
The frozen tofu made by the above method has a delicate, slippery, elastic, nutritious and digestible taste. And frozen tofu is cheap, and it is a cost-effective ingredient. If you want to try a different method or taste, let's make frozen tofu!
