When you have opened the package,drain the water and blot the tofu dry with a paper towel. You can thenslice it according to what you are going to use it for. If blending ormashing it, it is a good idea to slice it into small cubes. Tofumay be stored in the fridge for up to 7 days. You must store it in acontainer of water that is airtight. The water should be changed dailyor every 2 days at the least.

Tofu does freezebut it will turn more spongy in texture and oftentimes changes to adarkish caramel colour. Should you choose to freeze it, simply put itin a freezer bag and toss in the freezer or, put the whole containerthat it came in into the freezer. Thaw it on the counter - do notmicrowave thaw!!
