4 secrets to keep rice from going stale

On windy days in the North, or hot days in the South, rice often gets stale. To solve this problem, refer to the following tips.

Refrigerate Leftover Rice

The simplest and most common way to avoid spoilage is to store leftover rice in the refrigerator. This helps prevent bacterial growth.

Wash Pot - Pot Lid Before Cooking

Bacteria in the pot can affect the flavor, so make sure everything is clean before you start cooking.

Add salt when washing rice - The secret not everyone knows

When washing rice, add a pinch of salt so it won't go stale after 24 hours of cooking even if you forget to put it in the refrigerator. In particular, if you add a pinch of salt to the rice after washing it, the non-stale time will last even longer.

Note: When cooking sticky rice, adding a few grains of salt not only increases the flavor of the sticky rice but also helps it maintain its freshness for a few days.

Use vinegar

If you don't want to use salt, you can replace it with vinegar. When pouring the cooking water, add a few drops of vinegar, it also helps it last longer.

In a busy life, with these simple tips, preserving rice every day will become easier.
