Notes
How should I store the leftovers?
Allow the dish to cool to room temperature before doing anything. Then, dish into an airtight container or a bowl and place plastic wrap on top. Put in the refrigerator and eat within 3-4 days. Top tip: Make sure to give the dish a good stir and scrap the bottom of the pot so the dish does not burn.Nutrition
