Notes

  1. Freezing: This is such a great recipe for freezing! You can make a big batch of it, and store it in the freezer for an easy homemade dinner on a busy weeknight. This is also a great option for freezing in individual servings and enjoying as a week full of meal prepped lunches. Store in an airtight container up to 3 months.
  2. You can reheat your stir fry in the microwave, or over medium-low heat in a skillet on the stovetop. If you reheat on the stove, you'll have to keep a close eye on it. Add a splash of water or beef broth if it starts to dry out at all.
  3. Fridge: Your leftovers will last in an airtight container in the fridge for 5 days. You can store it right over top of the rice or noodles, or you can keep them separate. Refer to the section above for instructions on how to reheat your leftovers.
