Tips

  • When meal prepping to re-heat, make sure to put your salad & meat into separate ziploc bags to avoid getting the rice soggy.
  • When ready to eat, microwave the rice with a wet paper towel first to get it steamed, then add in your meat and microwave till warm, and finally add in your veggies on top to preserve the crunch and enjoy!
