Notes + tips
- Make ahead: most plant-based dishes are forgiving and reheat well. Store covered in the fridge 3-4 days.
- Freeze-friendly: portion into containers and freeze up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in the fridge.
- Substitutions: any of the major plant milks work; choose oat for creamiest, almond for lightest.
- Scale up: doubles cleanly for meal prep.
Why this works
This recipe leans on simple technique and good ingredients. Plant-based cooking generally rewards clean execution over elaborate technique — the flavours are fresher and the result more satisfying when you let the ingredients do the work.
