Notes
How to store and reheat leftovers: Buffalo tofu fries are one of those recipes that’s best eaten right away; once the fries are tossed with the Buffalo sauce, the coating will soften. That said, if you do have some left over, they can be refrigerated in an airtight container for a day or two, then reheated in the microwave or a 350ºF oven.
