To store: you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
To reheat: reheat leftovers in a pan over low heat with a splash of water or broth until warmed through. Or microwave on high for 2-3 minutes.
To freeze: if you’d like to freeze your leftovers, wrap them tightly in foil then place in a freezer safe bag or container and freeze for up to three months. When you’re ready to reheat, thaw in the fridge overnight the night before.
