  • Place all brine ingredients in a pot, except the tofu. Cooking over low heat for 20 minutes.
  • Place the pressed tofu into the brine. Cook for 20 minutes on a very low simmer.
  • Place the tofu in a freezer-safe container, and allow the brine to cool for 10 minutes. Pour the brine over the tofu, and place the bay leaf on top of the tofu. Place in the freezer for 24 hours.
  • Remove the tofu and place it in the refrigerator to thaw for 24 hours.
