Scale it

Use the servings stepper above the ingredients and every quantity adjusts. Cooking times stay roughly the same.

Cool completely, then keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.

Reheating

Reheat gently with a splash of water in a covered pan, rather than blasting it, so nothing dries out.
