After the Tet holiday, the amount of leftover food is usually quite large and stored in the refrigerator, especially pork sausage and cinnamon sausage. These are dishes made from cooked meat, so if not stored properly, they are very easy to spoil, especially when the weather changes erratically.
Therefore, proper food preservation will help avoid waste as well as ensure the health of family members. Accordingly, a few simple ways below will help housewives store spring rolls and sausages always fresh and delicious for a long time.
Cover the cut side tightly
Gio cha (Vietnamese sausage) after being cut out is very easy to become dry and dark, which will reduce the deliciousness. To overcome this situation, housewives need to use food wrap wrapped many times around the cut surface of the gio cha.
Sealing will help completely prevent air and bacteria from contacting the meat surface directly. If the family has a plastic box with a closed lid, it can store the spring rolls and sausages, helping to ensure safer and more effective storage.
Store gio cha in the refrigerator compartment
Storing leftover spring rolls and sausages in the refrigerator will help ensure the freshness of the dish. With a temperature of 5 to 8 degrees Celsius, it will help slow down the process of spoilage of spring rolls and sausages. However, housewives should note that food after Tet when stored in the refrigerator should be used up within 6 days.
In particular, it is necessary to arrange cooked food separately away from the space for raw meat and fish. This helps prevent cross-infection. At the same time, you should not arrange spring rolls and sausages near heavy-smelling fruits so that the dish is not stained with odors.
Miniature and cryopreservation
If the amount of leftover spring rolls is too much, housewives can choose to freeze them. Freezing food helps extend the shelf life. But before putting them in the freezer, housewives need to cut the spring rolls into small portions just enough to eat for a meal.
This method will help prevent spring rolls from losing nutrients. When eating, just put small portions into the freezer to defrost naturally overnight, both ensuring safety and hygiene and maintaining the deliciousness of spring rolls.
