Sister Jie's insights on how to preserve tofu
Tofu is a bean product that we often eat, and tofu is also great whether it's made into white cabbage tofu soup or stir-fried tofu. Most families will make some tofu, so they will buy it back home in two or three pieces. However, tofu is delicious and tender, but we still need some preservation methods to make it more tender and delicious.Sometimes when we buy back tofu, it's directly put into the plastic bags it came with when we bought it. If we don't use it temporarily, we can soak the tofu in water, but this short-term storage method is still okay. However, it can't be used to store tofu for a long time, so Sister Jie will teach you a method to preserve tofu that can be stored slightly longer, so you don't have to worry about buying too much tofu.
Methods for preserving tofu
1. First, we need to find a clean, deep, and slightly wide bowl so that the tofu can be immersed in the bowl. Sister Jie uses a stainless steel bowl. In the stainless steel bowl, we add about 10g of salt.
2. Add a little warm water inside, about one-fifth of the stainless steel bowl, because we still need to put the tofu in later. Adding a little warm water can prevent water from spilling out.
3. Next, we use chopsticks to stir the salt and warm water to make the salt evenly distributed, then let the salt water cool down a little.
4. We put the tofu in and cover it with water. If the tofu is higher than the water surface, we can add a little more water, and then put it in the refrigerator.
Tips
1. Tips for cooling the salt water
When mixing salt and warm water, you can mix them evenly. If it's hot, you can let it cool down slightly before adding the tofu, so that the tofu's surface won't become soft.
2. Tips for putting in the refrigerator
If you put it in the refrigerator, the temperature will drop, which can prolong the preservation time. Adding salt can prevent tofu from spoiling.
Summary
By covering the tofu with salt water and storing it in the refrigerator, the tofu can form a protective effect in a low temperature environment, which can prolong the preservation time of the tofu.
Another slightly simpler method to preserve tofu is to put it directly into the refrigerator's freezer. It doesn't need to be soaked in salt water and stored in salt water, and this preservation method can also prolong the preservation time. If the preservation time is slightly shorter, it's also okay, but this preservation method tastes similar to frozen tofu, but the advantage is that it can prolong the preservation time.
