Small details, better dinner.
Practical notes for getting the texture right, adapting the ingredients, and saving what is left.
- Use baked tofu, shelled edamame, or leftover turkey instead of chicken.
- Brown rice works; add another spoonful of water while steaming.
Refrigerate within 2 hours for up to 3 days. Reheat to 165°F with a splash of water; add fresh cucumber afterward.
