Storing Fresh Tofu

Tofu should be perfectly clean tasting and fresh smelling when you buy it, and to maintain it that way for a week to 10 days is a matter of keeping it fully covered with water, changing the water daily, and storing it in the refrigerator. I begin the freshness campaign by changing the water as soon as I bring the tofu home. Also, you want to be gentle when draining and resubmerging the tofu, so that it stays in a whole piece and doesn’t break apart.
