Tips on the perpetration of Tofu

Taste:
|
Fresh made is sweet in flavor and aroma, but storage in
water dilutes this and there is a bland taste.
|
|
Storage:
|
Look for the expiration date and buy the freshest possible. For longer
storage remove from package and place in fresh water. Change the water
daily if opened. Frozen: The denser types freeze well for a chewy meat texture.
Freezing for more than three days is not recommended.

Frozen:

The denser types freeze well for a chewy meat texture. Just freeze
in package with the water.

Marinating:

Always marinate in a glass, stainless steel or enamel. Turn at least
once. Long marinating should be done refrigerator in a covered
container.

Cooking:
|
Tofu can be prepared by every imaginable means. Experiment from
grilling to broiling! Rinse off the Tofu before using, and wring out.
