Notes

  • Store the leftover Malaysian Stir Fried Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will stay good for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can freeze it in freezer-safe containers or bags for up to 2 months.
  • To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator if frozen, then warm it in a skillet over medium heat until heated through. Alternatively, you can use a microwave, heating in short intervals and stirring in between to ensure even reheating.
