🍽️ Serving

It is best to serve bobotie warm, with yellow rice and banana sambal. Use colorful plates to highlight the exotic character of the dish. You can garnish with fresh herbs, such as cilantro.

🥡 Storage

Leftover bobotie is best stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for a maximum of 2 months. When reheating, it's best to use the oven to maintain the crispiness of the topping.
