Three to four days at most, food should not be stored in the refrigerator for too long, usually in the freezer for no more than three or four days, and the freezer for no more than three or four months. In addition, the freezer temperature should not exceed 4 degrees Celsius.

If you have leftover rice and can't finish it for the next meal, divide it into two portions and store it in the freezer. For the second meal, take out one portion first and add black sesame seeds, red dates, oats, lotus seeds and other ingredients together to make porridge, or add tender peas, diced mushrooms, chopped vegetables, minced meat, eggs and other ingredients together to make fried rice. This can make full use of the leftover rice, but also get richer nutrition.

How to save leftover rice

1, rice to the appropriate size of the pot

Leftover white rice should not be placed in the original pot to save, because the pot is not convenient to put into the refrigerator, so it is best to put the leftover rice into a small pot with a lid, and then into the refrigerator to freeze.

2. Stir the rice to loosen it

After the leftover rice is transferred to a small pot, use a rice spoon to stir the rice to loosen it before putting it into the refrigerator. If it has not cooled down completely, you can put it on the dining table or in a ventilated place first, and then put it into the refrigerator to save it after it cools down completely.

3, cover and refrigerate

Cooled rice with a cover and put it in the refrigerator to save, cover can prevent the water of the rice to be absorbed by the refrigerator, and at the same time, can avoid the rice stained with the flavor of other foods.
