Silken tofu + soy sauce + time = ?

November 13, 2021 10:00 AM

Was curious about silken tofu so picked some up and made a quick dish out of it which was basically just serving it cold with some soy sauce, spring onions and chilli. I only ate half of it and the rest is sitting in the soy sauce. Recipe said to serve immediately. Will the rest of the tofu still be good to eat tomorrow, taste-wise? The only reason I hesitate is that soy sauce is very strong so was thinking that marinating overnight might be too overpowering.

Put it in the fridge. If the taste isn't to your liking tomorrow, turn it into tofu soboro.

I think it will be OK (as Rock'em Sock'em says, it doesn't soak up all that much), but you could also take it out of the soy sauce and store it separately in a covered container. As long as it's in the refrigerator, it should be fine.

I think the "serve immediately" might simply mean it's ready to eat after preparing, no need to chill it, warm it, or let it marinate or anything like that.
