Tofu is a dish suitable for many ages but it turns sour very quickly. Even if kept in the refrigerator, it can only be kept for two days, so it is often a waste to throw it away.
There are some tips to preserve tofu for longer, even a week without changing the taste.
Soak in salt water
To keep tofu fresh for a long time, you should use the salt water soaking method.
Add a little salt to warm water, after the salt dissolves in the water and cools down, add the beans.
The salt ratio should be determined according to the amount of tofu, 10 grams of salt for every 100 grams of tofu. You should change the water once a day. This way, fresh tofu can be preserved for 7-10 days at room temperature without changing its taste. If you put it in the refrigerator, it can be preserved longer. But remember, when cooking, you should reduce the salt.
Boiled
Boil the beans in boiling water for 2 minutes with a little salt. Heat to sterilize. After boiling, remove and let cool, then store in the refrigerator, which also helps preserve them for a long time without turning sour.
Fried beans
Cut the cleaned tofu into small pieces, fry both sides until golden brown, let cool and then refrigerate. This method can also be stored for a long time.
Frozen beans
This is considered a very healthy way. After fresh tofu is frozen, it will create an acidic substance, which can destroy the fat accumulated in the human body, thereby helping to lose weight.
Furthermore, frozen tofu retains more nutrients than fresh tofu, because minerals and vitamins in fresh tofu are easily lost when the juice flows out.
