How to Know Your Sauces are Going Bad
Most sauces change in colour or flavour when it is starting to lose their freshness. Here are a few tips for keeping your refrigerated condiments and sauces.
#1 Never leave your sauces on the counter after opening the lid. Bacteria can form in warm conditions causing the mala or XO sauce you bought from the Singapore grocery store to go bad quicker. Always refrigerate after opening the lid.
#2 Oyster and hoisin sauces can be stored for three to six months if refrigerated. The sooner you consume the sauce, the better it will be, and the less probable germs will form up inside it.
#3 The following are signs you should look for to determine if your sauces are going bad.
- Look for fuzzy white or green balls on the side of the chili sauce you purchased at a Singapore grocery store recently.
- You notice water separating from the thickening agent of the most recently bought mala sauce from the Singapore grocery store.
- The sauce is starting to emit a foul odour.
