Look, onions aren’t immortal. If your leftover piece feels slimy, smells funky, or has a weird fuzz growing on it, toss it. No second chances. Your stir-fry doesn’t need that energy.
A fresh leftover onion, if stored correctly, should last about 3–5 days in the fridge. Frozen? Six months, easy. Pickled? Weeks. You’re basically an onion wizard now.
So, next time you have a half-onion staring at you from the cutting board, don’t panic. Wrap it. Freeze it. Pickle it. Just don’t abandon it to rot in a dark corner of your fridge. You’re better than that. And so is your cooking.
