Lots of us enjoy a good Chinese - whether it's ordering from our favourite takeway, eating out, or cooking it at home ourselves. And it's often the case that there are leftovers.
It is, however, important to take care when reheating Chinese food. Chef Dennis Littley, who has been in the business for 40 years and runs askchefdennis.com, has put together some tips to make the most of your leftovers.
Dennis said: “When Chinese food or any food is left at room temperature for an extended period of time, it becomes a breeding ground for bacteria. The most common types of bacteria that can grow in leftover food are Salmonella, Staphylococcus aureus, Bacillus cereus, Listeria monocytogenes, and Clostridium perfringens.
