Swaps, storing and making ahead

Good to know

Swaps

No chicken, beef or salmon on hand? Use any cooked protein you have, like tofu or shredded turkey.

Storing it

Store components separately in airtight containers in the fridge: protein and vegetables 3–4 days, cooked rice 1–2 days (cool it quickly). Reheat protein and base until steaming hot.

Making it ahead

Cook the protein, base and roasted vegetables up to 2 days ahead and keep them in the fridge; add avocado and toppings just before serving.
