Can you freeze stir fry?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Yes, I freeze cooked rice regularly. I tend to portion my rice in containers, then when needed, place in the microwave to reheat. If I am cooking rice to freeze, then I will just slightly undercook it, as microwaving will cook it to the desired consistency. Depends if it is real rice or reconstituted rice. Real rice is the actual seed of the rice plant. Reconstituted rice is rice ground up and made into little rice shaped nodules. If you try to freeze reconstituted rice, it will break down into mush, because it has no shell to hold its form together.

No it is not the same. When a beef is butchered it is hung on a rail in two pieces or halves. Then each half is cut in half so the carcass is in quarters now. You have a forequarter and a hindquarter. The flank steak comes from the hindquarter and the flat iron steak comes from the forequarter.

Plain rice congee, or zhou(粥), is very mild and bland, tasting much like watery white rice. There are other versions that are cooked with meat or with mushrooms. These taste more like a traditional soup. Some congee is cooked with beans, and these tend to be sweet. Plain congee is often eaten for breakfast with boiled eggs and pickled vegetables.
