Notes
Nutrition information does not include optional rice.
Storing: Transfer cooled stir fry into an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. I prefer to store the rice separately, but you could store them together if you want.
Freezing: Transfer cooled stir fry to a freezer safe container and freeze for up to 6 months. Thaw before reheating.
Reheating: Place stir fry in a microwave safe bowl and reheat in the microwave in 30 second intervals until warmed through. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge.
