Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If freezing, it can last up to three months. When reheating, use the oven or microwave to warm individual portions. For best results, use a non-stick skillet to prevent sticking, and feel free to experiment with different vegetables.
