Serve it with roast beef, honey garlic chicken thighs, or soup.
Refrigerate leftovers in an air-tight container for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 1 month. If freezing, make sure to squeeze out all the air and flatten your freezer bag to reduce the chances of freezer burn and optimize storage space.
