Storage and Reheating Tips

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat in a skillet over medium heat with a splash of water or soy sauce to loosen the noodles.
You can also microwave in short intervals, stirring in between, until heated through.
Avoid overcooking during reheating to maintain the texture of the noodles.
