Question
Hello Louis,

I am considering eating tofu dishes quite often as I have recently tasted a couple of great tasting recipes. I bought two 1 pound containers,(comes in a plastic container & has some water or fluid in it), at an Interasian market two days ago and I'm wondering how long it will be safe for me to keep it in the refrigerator?
Also, can I freeze tofu without affecting it's flavor, it's firmness, or other qualities?

Thank you for any advice.

Mike E.

Answer
Hello Mike!
Chef Wu here, as far as how many day tofu is good refrigerating usually 1 week unless you bought a tofu
that almost gone bad then you can't keep it that long.
the way you can tell if To Fu is bad, look inside
the water if it's clear then it's good if it's not clear
then don't buy it. if you freez the To Fu it won't tast
like a To Fu. so I won't advice it. hope I answer your questions, sorry I'am late answering you! Merry Christmas
and Happy New Years.
