Storage & Meal Prep Tips 🧊

• This bowl is best assembled fresh.
• If meal prepping, keep the rice, vegetables, salmon and sauces in separate sections until ready to eat.
• Store prepared ingredients in the refrigerator and consume within the recommended storage time for each ingredient.
• Add the seaweed just before eating so it stays crisp.

 

💡 Tip: Turn this into a larger meal by adding extra vegetables such as edamame, shredded carrot or cabbage. Keep in mind that additional ingredients will change the nutritional values.
