Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftover beef lo mein in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.

Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water to loosen the sauce.

Alternatively, microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.

Freeze portions in freezer-safe containers for up to 2 months.

Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating for best results.
