Drain the tofu first, then freeze it in the package or in a freezer safe container. Some people slice it before freezing so it is ready for meals later.
After thawing, press out the extra water. The tofu will look more porous, which makes it good for stir fries, curries, and marinades.
If you want a very silky texture, freezing is not ideal. For firm, chewy tofu, it can be excellent.
Tofu is one of the few foods where freezing can improve the way it cooks and absorbs flavor.
