Cook longer for crispier texture or shorter for softer results. Freeze cooked portions for quick meals later. Handle gently when stirring to avoid breaking texture. Customize flavors with spices, sauces, or herbs. Store leftovers refrigerated up to three days and reheat carefully to maintain moisture.
