Not only can you freeze tofu, you honestly should be freezing tofu.Tofu is full of liquid, and when it freezes, that liquid turns into ice crystals.This changes the internal structure of the block by pushing aside solids as the crystals expand.When tofu is thawed, the ice melts, but the solids remain pushed aside.And this leaves pockets throughout the tofu, giving you something that's chewier and bouncier than before.The built-in holes absorb flavor from sauces exactly like a sponge absorbs liquid.So while other items might languish in the freezer, tofu should go there right away
