How to buy delicious tofu
- To be on the safe side, you should buy white tofu to fry at home instead of buying pre-fried from the store.
- Should choose to buy pieces of tofu with an ivory-white color similar to the color of soybeans, smooth and not dry when picked up.
- Fresh tofu will have the aroma and characteristic fatty taste of beans. Do not choose to buy pieces of tofu with a faint smell of lime, because when eaten, it will feel pale, dry and spongy.
- Absolutely do not choose to buy pieces of tofu that are yellow because those are pieces of beans that contain a lot of gypsum, which is not good for health.
