Whereas normally if you cook something, eat your meal, let it sit there for a while and then package it up they tend to dry out and not taste as good for a leftover. But if packed away just after cooking the flavor is still there.
I get to make large quantities to save money this way, and it allows me to have "pre-made" meals to save me a lot of time. Instead of constantly preparing and cooking food every day, I do it once for about 3-4 days time. |
This is good advice, also keeps you from overindulging. Might take a while to get the portion size right. I try to actually separate ingredients a bit too, since I always end up having to toss whole meals because one ingredient soured the whole dish up.
Especially stir fry dishes.
