I think that's what the package recommends, too,. i add the salt because it
does have a preserving effect.

Does the salt

The water it comes in is salty and the tofu in those package is slightly
salty, anyway. And not very absorbent, if my marinades are an indication.
The only get into the tofu about 2-3 millimeters deep (i.e. 1/10 of an
inch).So using salty water isn't a problem, IMO.
