Reheat with a splash of broth. **Q: Can I freeze leftovers?** A: Yes, freeze for up to 3 months in airtight container. ## Storage and Make-Ahead Tips **Storage:** - Refrigerate in airtight container for 3-4 days - Keep garnishes separate - Store rice and meatballs together **Make-Ahead Options:** - Prep meatballs in advance - Chop garnishes day before - Pre-measure dry ingredients **Reheating Instructions:** - Microwave: 2-3 minutes, stirring halfway - Stovetop: Low heat with splash of broth - Add fresh herbs after reheating This versatile one-pan meal is perfect for busy families and can be easily customized to suit different tastes. Serve it with a fresh green salad or steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
