Save it for later

Store it

Cool within two hours, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge and eat within 3–4 days.

Freeze it

Freeze in single portions, flat, and label the date. Best quality within 3 months; thaw in the fridge overnight.

Reheat it

Reheat until piping hot all the way through. A skillet or air fryer keeps texture better than a microwave.
