Koyadofu is freeze-dried tofu widely used in Japanese cooking. It's known to have a higher protein content than regular tofu, be easier to digest, and be quite effective at suppressing cholesterol.
I pulled out tofu I'd frozen back on 12/29, leftover from making "Don't Despair Just Because Things Don't Go As Planned Mapo Tofu." Thawing frozen tofu and squeezing out the water gives you a texture similar to (though not identical to) koyadofu.
