Storage information
Cool within 2 hours, then cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days. It can be frozen for up to 3 months, although the tofu will become slightly spongier. Defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat until steaming hot all the way through.
Tip
Extra flavour: Stir in 1 tsp reduced-salt soy sauce or a squeeze of lime at the end. Heartier version: Serve with a 250g pouch of brown rice shared between 2 bowls.
