In addition to refrigerating leftover rice, use salt and vinegar to keep it from getting stale.
1. Tips for Fresh and Flavorful Rice Cooking
Apart from refrigerating leftover rice in the fridge, use salt and vinegar to maintain its freshness.
During windy or hot weather in the North, or constant heat in the South, rice tends to spoil quickly. To prevent this:
- Always store leftover rice in the fridge.
- Ensure the pot and lid are clean before cooking rice.
- When rinsing rice, add a pinch of salt. This prevents rice from spoiling within 24 hours, even in hot weather if you forget to refrigerate it.
Especially, if you add a pinch of salt to the rice after rinsing (meaning cooking rice with a bit of salt), the non-spoiling period of the rice will be extended further.
