You know when you buy a block of tofu, and it's kind of swimming in that liquid. (like... "tofu whey")
Anyway...
It seems rather a waste to just pour it down the drain.
Surely there's something that can be done with it?

Is there something I can do with "tofu whey"? Can it be saved for use in something later? Am I completely off my rocker? (wait, don't answer that last one, LOL!)

All right...
Thanks!

I thought that liquid was a sort of brine, and very salty. I wouldn't use it for anything.

Maybe some of the liquid from the bath used to coagulate the soy milk into curds, but mostly, it's water.
So.

OK.

Until I find out otherwise, I guess it's not anything worth much of anything
(or something)
Whatever.

Thanks for reading!

Thanks for looking it up. I probably should have. I don't use tofu that often.

I use it fairly often. I love extra firm or super firm done in small cubes, hot hot skillet with a little Szechuan sauce. Once a slight 'crust' has formed on the tofu cubes, I toss in some veggies and heat them through.
Kind of a "Not Quite Stir-Fry" (for the nights I don't feel like doing all the prep for an actual stir fry, LOL!)
I've also done thin thin slices, lightly pan fried, then laid over a salad.

Mmmm. I want tofu again tonight! LOL!
