Tips for this recipe

  • Prepare the measured ingredients before heating the pan or assembling the dish. Follow the written order so ingredients are ready when they are needed.
  • When scaling the recipe, increase ingredients together but keep the same doneness checks. A larger batch does not necessarily cook in the same time.

Serving suggestions

Serve after the resting or finishing step. Pair with vegetables and a starch if desired, and count sides separately unless they are included in the ingredients.

Storage and make-ahead

Refrigerate perishable portions in shallow, covered containers within 2 hours, or within 1 hour above 90°F. Keep the refrigerator at 40°F or below and use cooked leftovers within 3–4 days. If reheating cooked leftovers, heat them to 165°F throughout.

Food-safety reference: USDA leftover-storage guidance.

Common questions

Should I weigh ingredients before or after cooking?

Use the stage written next to each ingredient. Raw, cooked, drained, and dry weights are different; keep that distinction when measuring a portion or using the nutrition estimate.

How should I use the calories and macros?

The card lists estimates for its stated serving size. Use the listed ingredients and portions as the basis; changing brands, substitutions, toppings, or sides can change the values.
