Additional recipe notes
Substitutes for Fresh Wide Rice Noodles Feel free to substitute the fresh wide rice noodles with: 10-mm wide Dry Rice Noodle Sticks (use 200 g / 7 oz for a serving of 3): Boil the dry rice noodle sticks in hot boiling water for 5-6 minutes or until al dente. Strain and rinse off with running cold water. Strain again and mix in 1 teaspoon of neutral oil to prevent the noodles from sticking to each other. Fresh Rice Noodle Rolls (a.k.a Cheung fun): I recommend microwaving for 30-60 second intervals for 2-3 minutes until they're warm enough to peel apart by hand. Then either cut them into 1.5-inch-wide pieces and unravel them or split them down the middle by hand.
Storage & reheating safety
For cooked, perishable leftovers, refrigerate within 2 hours (1 hour above 90°F), using shallow containers for prompt cooling. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below, use refrigerated leftovers within 3–4 days, and reheat hot leftovers to 165°F, checked with a food thermometer. Follow any shorter package limit.
These are general safety limits, not a tested storage or freezing recommendation for this particular dish. USDA leftovers guidance · Safe cooking temperatures
