👨‍🍳 Pro Meal Prep Tips for This Dish

  • Cucumber ribbon peeler: shaving with a Y-peeler creates flexible ribbons that hold dressing beautifully.
  • Wonton strip protection: pack wonton strips separately so they don't absorb moisture in the fridge.
  • Protein boost: pair with grilled salmon or boiled eggs for a full 35g protein meal.
