Storage information

Refrigerate leftovers in airtight containers for up to 3 days. Reheat thoroughly until piping hot. Freeze for up to 3 months; defrost overnight in the fridge and reheat thoroughly. The broccoli will soften slightly after freezing.

Tip

Lower carb: Reduce the brown rice to 60g dry weight and add extra broccoli or another low-carb vegetable. Lower fat: Reduce the olive oil to 1 tsp and sesame oil to 1 tsp. A good non-stick pan will make this easy.
