Storage Info:
Store your Veggie Loaded Chow Mein in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 3-4 days. To reheat, simply warm it in a skillet or on a stovetop over medium heat until heated through, which helps to revive the texture and flavors. Alternatively, you can microwave it for a couple of minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even heating.
