How do I store leftover Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep (16 oz) chicken breast from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles?

How do I scale Teriyaki Chicken Stir-Fry with Rice Noodles for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 4 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 4). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
