How to store cooked rice balls without stickiness is really annoying, the Lantern Festival is a festival to eat rice balls, but sometimes we may cook too many rice balls and don't know how to store them properly. As a housewife, here are some tips on how to store cooked glutinous rice balls without stickiness to share with you.
First of all, the cooked rice balls should be dried as soon as possible. After scooping out the rice balls with a colander, gently shake them a few times to let the moisture on the surface as much as possible. This reduces the stickiness between the glutinous rice balls and prevents them from sticking together.
Next, the glutinous rice balls can be placed in a dry container. Choose a sealed plastic box or glass container to ensure that the container is clean, oil-free and water-free. Place the rice balls in a single layer in the container to avoid stacking them, so as to avoid the rice balls being deformed by compression.
If you need to keep the rice balls for a long time, you can add some dry starch or flour to the container and gently shake the container so that the surface of the rice balls is evenly coated with a thin layer of flour. This can help prevent the glutinous rice balls from sticking together and absorb excess moisture.
Also, place the container in which the rice balls are stored in the refrigerator compartment. The low temperature environment can extend the shelf life of the glutinous rice balls and maintain their taste and quality. During storage, try to avoid squeezing or colliding the rice balls.
When it comes to eating preserved glutinous rice balls, they can be taken straight out of the refrigerator without thawing. Cook the rice balls in boiling water, which may take a little longer than freshly cooked rice balls, but will still taste good.
With these simple methods, you can effectively preserve the cooked rice balls so that they will still retain their flavor and texture the next time they are eaten. As a housewife, these tips can help you better manage your food and avoid waste. At the same time, remember to pay attention to hygiene and food safety when preserving and eating glutinous rice balls to ensure the health of your family.
I hope these tips for preserving glutinous rice balls will be helpful to everyone, and I wish you all a happy Lantern Festival!
