Can you freeze Thai meatballs in tomato sauce?

Freezing: Allow the meatballs in the tomato sauce to cool completely before freezing. This prevents condensation and ice crystals. Divide the dish into portions so that you only thaw the amount you need. Place the portions in freezer-safe bags or airtight containers. Squeeze out excess air from the bags to prevent freezer burn. Label the packaging with the freezing date so you can check the freshness. The dish can be stored in the freezer for up to 2-3 months. Thawing and Heating: Allow the frozen Thai meatballs to thaw in the refrigerator. This ensures even thawing and maintains the quality of the dish. Heat the meatballs in the tomato sauce in a pan over medium heat or in the oven at 180°C. Stir regularly to heat evenly. Check that the dish is hot in the middle before serving.
