Pork stew is one of the indispensable dishes during the traditional Tet holiday, often stewed in large quantities and eaten over several days. If not properly preserved, it is very easy for the stewed pork to spoil. The following article will provide you with some tips on how to preserve the stewed pork and keep it fragrant for a long time.

Preserving at room temperature
After stewing the meat, if there is too much fat on the surface of the pot, you should skim off the excess.
Every day, you should take out the amount of meat you need and reheat it separately. If you don’t finish eating, you should not pour the remaining meat and water back into the main pot, as it will easily spoil the stewed pork.
You should not cover the pot too tightly, as the food will become overcooked and easily spoiled.
Every day, you should reheat the stewed pork once and keep it in a dry and airy place.
Do not cover the pot too tightly
By preserving the stewed pork this way, your family can finish the whole pot of meat without worrying about it spoiling, while still ensuring the deliciousness of the stewed pork.
2 Preserving in the refrigerator
You should cover the pot tightly, either by using food wrap or putting it in a tightly sealed container, and then store it in the refrigerated compartment to avoid odors. When eating, you can take out a portion and reheat it in a separate pot.
The maximum storage time for stewed pork in the refrigerator is 1 week, because if it is stored longer, the stewed pork will no longer be delicious.
