How do I store leftover Rainbow Veggie Stir-Fry with Miso-Ginger Glaze?

Can I substitute ingredients in Rainbow Veggie Stir-Fry with Miso-Ginger Glaze?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.
How do I scale Rainbow Veggie Stir-Fry with Miso-Ginger Glaze for a different number of people?
