Presentation
Serve 1 generous slice per person; enjoy immediately after preparation.
Suggested pairing
Try leftover chicken or roast beef; without leftovers, cook fresh pork fully and shred.
Storage
Keep the finished dish in a shallow covered container at 4 °C (40 °F) or below. Eat within 24 hours without exceeding 3 days from the original cooking of the leftovers. Do not reheat twice.
Make ahead
Within 2 hours of Christmas dinner, divide cooked leftovers into shallow covered containers and refrigerate at 4 °C (40 °F) or below. Use within 3 days of the original cooking; for later use, freeze promptly in dated, portioned containers. Thaw in the refrigerator, never on the counter. Reheat only the needed portion once.
Food safety
Discard perishable leftovers left unrefrigerated for over 2 hours (over 1 hour above 32 °C (90 °F)). Reheat previously cooked food to 74 °C (165 °F) at its center using a food thermometer, only once. Repurposing does not reset the storage clock. Check gluten, milk, egg and other allergens; when uncertain, discard. Promptly chill cooked rice due to Bacillus cereus risk.
