I just made my best batch of fried tofu yet by incorporating both of these steps. For so long I only pressed my tofu before cooking and felt that it only made a marginal improvement in final product quality, but I finally used thawed tofu that I had in the freezer for months. The result: a dramatically firmer, chewier, and more crispy final product.

A great way to properly ensure you have a robust tofu rotation is one in the freezer and one in the fridge.
Stop using the silly method of pressing them to draw the moisture out, when you freeze your firm tofu it forces the water content from the tofu cause you know, they froze.
So when you defrost them you will be left with a tofu block that has better texture, better consistency and little internal holes that soaks up sauce perfectly.

i like converting tofu haters with this recipe
press it, cut it, then freeze it (on a cookie sheet for extra convenience, you can put it in a container later). when you defrost it, you can press aaaaalll the water out, roll in some corn starch and then fry it to super crispy perfection
serve with any sauce you like, sriracha mayo, bulgolgi marinade, teriyaki etc

Then press it again. Always buy extra firm if you want to fry it. don’t marinate it and use cornstarch. Your flavoring should come in the form of an after sauce. if you marinade before it’ll always be wet and won’t fry right

I filed a complaint with a bunch of receipts to my city's rent board last month after my landlord notified me of another increase, and turns out she was in violation of increasing rent within 12 months following a previous rent increase
The city just told my landlord to reimburse me the excess rent, and my current rent must remain in place until next March for her to be in compliance (she wanted to raise it another 10% in October lol)
