Preparation and storage notes

KEEP FROZEN
1. Microwave: If you’re in a hurry, you can microwave directly. Just be cautious—if your microwave is small, the soup may dry out, or the veggies could become mushy. I personally add a little water sometimes! Hehe!
2. Defrost then Heat: Use the microwave to defrost, then heat up.
3. Thaw in the Fridge: Thaw the dishes in the fridge, then microwave.
4. For Fried and Grilled Dishes: To keep the crunchiness, it’s best to use an air fryer, griller, or oven.
