Freeze the dice flat on a cookie sheet and then store long term loose in
a bag. Easy to get just as many as you want for anything

Also, it's been years since I've done this, but even freezer larger
chunks (1x1" squares?) was okay for a stir fry from a frozen state if
you didn't give them very much time at all in the skillet. Not perfect
but acceptable in my sight.
