Tofu never goes bad again! Here's how to keep it fresh.

How to store tofu

Have you ever thrown away a block of tofu because it went bad before you could finish it? It can easily spoil if stored incorrectly. Today, I'll show you how to keep tofu fresher and longer by adding this!

 

Problem

It's great to buy a whole block of tofu and eat it all at once, but most people end up eating half a block and then storing it. Freezing it will keep it for a long time, but it won't taste as good as when you first bought it. So, if you just keep it in the fridge, it'll spoil quickly and become inedible.

Solution

The first thing to do is to drain all the water from the tofu.

 

Bring a pot of water to a boil and bring to a gentle boil. Add the tofu and blanch it briefly.

Now, prepare an airtight container. Place the tofu in it and fill it with cold water. Prepare today's star ingredient: sea salt. Add a small amount to the tofu.

 

Adding a little salt and storing it like this will help keep it fresh for a long time. Salt prevents tofu from hardening and inhibits the growth of microorganisms. This allows it to stay fresh for longer.

Keep the container tightly closed and store in the refrigerator. Changing the water every day or two will help keep it for longer.

When using tofu, rinse it once in clean water to remove any saltiness or impurities. Stored tofu can be used in a variety of dishes. Try using fresh tofu in soups, stews, salads, and other dishes.

Today, I learned how to store tofu for a long time using sea salt.

This method is environmentally friendly and chemical-free, so be sure to try it.

Tofu is fine for one day, but it seems to go bad after 2-3 days.
