Pantry Glow-Up for CNY! 🧧🍊🌟

January 09, 2025

Ready to kick off the Lunar New Year with a kitchen that screams organized and festive? Here’s your ultimate #PantryPursuits checklist to wow Auntie, impress Grandma, and make your life easier during all the holiday cooking! ✨

Step 1: Declutter Like a Pro
Check for expired sauces (yes, even that soy sauce bottle from 2021).
Group your goodies: snacks, sauces, canned foods, and festive treats.

Pro Tip: Keep it guilt-free! Donate unopened non-expired extras to your community before tossing!

Step 2: The Storage Glow-Up
Clear jars = pantry perfection. Pour rice, pasta, or even pineapple tart sprinkles into them. Label EVERYTHING like it’s your audition for a home makeover show!
Use baskets or stackable bins to wrangle small packets and snacks! Bye, clutter chaos~ 👋

Step 3: Snack Like a Strategist
Practice “first-in, first-out.” Rotate old stuff to the front so it’s used up first. Perfect excuse to “sample” snacks ahead of CNY gatherings, right? 👀

Step 4: Instant-Access Magic
Lazy Susans for sauces & spices = no more mid-cooking scavenger hunts.
Store daily essentials (soy sauce, cooking oil, salt) front and center like VIPs.

Step 5: Festive Prep Must-Haves
Stock up on your CNY all-stars: glutinous rice, nian gao, red bean paste, and those addictive shrimp rolls.
Dedicate one corner for mandarin oranges, peanut cookies, or… an entire tray of bak kwa.

Step 6: Countertop Zen
Clear those counters like you’re prepping for a hotpot showdown.
Group chopping boards, knives, and festive platters together for max efficiency.

Final Touch:
Make a 5-minute habit of tidying your pantry each week. Who says spring cleaning ends in spring?
