Soy Curls - Freeze Before or After Cooking?

I found a lovely marinade with cumin and sumac and want to save the soy curls. Should I cook them and then freeze, or freeze and then cook?

Melusine - you could do it either way.
From many years of cooking and eating a vegetarian diet, I remember that freezing first gave tofu more flavor and texture.
Double-checked and found a source that explains why - freezing removers some of the moisture, so you get better (less-diluted) flavor by freezing first and cooking after.
