Frozen tofu is tofu that is reprocessed using plate tofu as a base. The method is very simple. You can send the plate tofu into the freezer until it is cold and then thawed for use, so everyone can easily DIY at home. Because frozen tofu has gone through the process of freezing and thawing, its tissue is destroyed, making the pores larger, and it becomes more able to absorb soup than ordinary plate tofu. This is its characteristic and advantage. Therefore, when used in soup cooking and hot pot cooking, it is the best way to fully utilize the benefits of frozen tofu, especially the spicy hot pot that is hot in winter. Frozen tofu is an indispensable item!
