Notes

Storage

Leftover rice bowls may be stored in the vinaigrette in the fridge for up to 4 days. You’ll want to leave the cucumbers off.

Meal prep

Carrots and bell peppers may be pre-chopped up to 4 days ahead; avoid pre-chopping the cucumbers
Vinaigrette may be prepared up to 2 weeks ahead
Rice may be cooked at most 4 days ahead
Beef may be cooked up to 4 days ahead and store in the fridge (or in the freezer for 3 months)

Rice safety

Since we are not reheating the rice, we want to be extra careful for food safety reasons. Refrigerate the rice within 2 hours of cooking and do not let it sit out at room temperature for long periods of time.
