Tofu Noodle Soup

Directions

Drain and rinse the tofu.

Put the tofu in a plastic bag or container, close it tightly, and freeze until the tofu is frozen hard.

Remove the bag or container from the freezer and put it in a bowl of hot water, or let the tofu thaw at room temperature.

Gently squeeze the water from the tofu, using your hands, and then squeeze it dry between two towels.

Cut the tofu into ½-inch cubes.

In a large pot of lightly salted boiling water, cook the noodles just until tender, about 8 minutes.

Drain, rinse well under cold running water, and drain again.
