Watch the expiration date. Make sure to use tofu before it goes bad.
For best results, use a Tupperware container with a sealable lid. You can use a Ziplock bag as well, if you don’t have a Tupperware container.
Pour in enough water that the tofu is just covered. For best results, use filtered water. Tap water may have contaminants that can harm tofu. Make sure to change the water daily.
Keep in mind, defrosted tofu has a slightly different taste. Its texture changes. It will become chewier and spongier, but some people actually prefer this texture.
If you need to drain a lot of tofu, place the tofu between two plates. Then, place a heavy can on top of the plates.
If you’re unsure when you bought your tofu, check the expiration date. This should give you an idea as to whether the tofu is still safe to eat.
Keep in mind, tofu takes on a more beige color when frozen. If your frozen tofu turns brownish, it should still be good to eat if it hasn’t been in the freezer for more than four months.
