Recipe Notes
Egg Roll Bowl Storage Instructions
Refrigerator –
Storage time: Up to 3-4 days in an airtight container.
Tips: Cool the dish completely before storing it to prevent condensation, which can lead to sogginess. Keep it sealed tightly to maintain freshness and avoid odour absorption from other foods.
Freezer –
Storage time: Up to 2-3 months in a freezer-safe container or bag.
Tips: Portion it into smaller servings for easier thawing. Label the container with the date for better tracking.
Egg Roll Bowl Reheating Instructions
For the best texture and flavour, reheat in a skillet or microwave until thoroughly hot. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating. This dish typically freezes well since it lacks the delicate wrappers of traditional egg rolls.
