Can You Freeze Chicken Fried Rice?
Take half of the Chicken Fried Rice and seal in a FoodSaver® bag. Label and freeze until ready to use. To reheat, remove from freezer and cut one corner of the bag to vent and microwave on high for 6-8 minutes, or until heated through. Allow to sit for one minute before removing from bag.
Or while I was visiting my Mama I froze the Chicken Fried Rice in these tupperware-like containers and froze them so she could have them when I was gone or share them with her friends. I would take these out of the containers when ready to eat. Place in a bowl and reheat in the microwave. These could be reheated on the stove top as well.
