Additional recipe notes

We recommend quickly running the frozen veggies under lukewarm water for about 30 seconds before using. You don't want them to be fully frozen, but you also don't want them to be completely defrosted. Cooking them while partially defrosted allows them to cook together in this dish until they're fully cooked through, but still vibrant and crisp!

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
