Freezing gives tofu a meat like, chewy texture that's perfect for casseroles and stews. Frozen tofu can be stored up to 3 months.

Place the tofu in a single layer on a plate and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Freeze until firm, at least 1 hour. Thaw in the refrigerator until soft, 6-8 hours.

Squeeze the tofu to eliminate excess water. Crumble or grate into small pieces to achieve the desired texture. (Don't make the pieces too big they will be overly chewy.)
