MEAL PREP LOGISTICS

  • Storage: Refrigerate for up to 4 days. Can be frozen for up to 2 months — thaw overnight before reheating.
  • Batching: Day-old cold rice is essential — fresh hot rice will turn mushy and sticky.
  • Reheat: Microwave for 2 minutes, stirring halfway. For best results, reheat in a hot skillet with a splash of soy sauce.
