The laughter and laughter of the Spring Festival have not completely dispersed, but many friends' New Year's goods have been piled up into a small mountain. Looking at the full refrigerator and lockers, are you a little worried? Today I'm going to give you a few tips!
The first trick: clever storage to extend the shelf life
We need to understand how different foods are stored. Leafy greens are wrapped in soft paper and placed in a plastic bag and can be refrigerated for 3 days. Vegetables such as lotus root and bamboo shoots are slightly durable, and it is no problem to eat them in 4-5 days.
Fruits such as apples and pears can be stored for about 3 weeks when placed in a cool place indoors. Citrus fruits can last up to two weeks, but remember that they and tropical fruits such as bananas and mangoes should not be kept in the refrigerator, and they are better suited indoors in a cool place.
The second trick: leftovers become new dishes, delicious without waste
What to do with leftovers? In fact, as long as you use your brain, leftovers can be turned into new dishes! For example, leftover chicken can be shredded to make a shredded chicken salad, or stir-fried with vegetables to make a new dish.
The leftover seafood can be used to make seafood porridge, or seafood fried rice, which is delicious and not wasteful. Of course, when heating leftovers, you must pay attention to thoroughly cooking them to avoid causing gastrointestinal discomfort.
The third trick: share food to convey happiness
It's better to be happy alone than to be happy! You can invite friends and family over for dinner and cook a sumptuous dinner with the leftover New Year's goods. Or, pack the New Year's goods and give them to the elderly in the neighborhood and community, so that they can also feel the warmth of the Spring Festival.
The fourth trick: make good use of staple pastries
Don't forget the pastries and staples you bought years ago. Cooked starch staple foods such as steamed buns and baked cakes should be stored in a dry place indoors, and not in the refrigerator, as they will dry and harden. Biscuits and cookies are the same, just store them at room temperature, but remember to separate them from the bread, otherwise the taste will be affected. Soft pastries can be refrigerated, but it's best to eat them within two days.
In addition, leftover staples and pastries can be creatively processed. For example, cut the leftover rice cake into slices to make pan-fried rice cake slices, or make the leftover bread into bread pudding. It not only solves the remaining problems, but also tastes new flavors.
Hopefully, these tips will help you easily dispose of the rest of your New Year's goods, so that you can enjoy the fun of food without wasting it. If you still want to know about health problems, or life tips, please leave a message in the comment area to let us know!
