Does cooked white rice freeze well?!


Question: Does cooked white rice freeze well!?
I have this shrimp & veggie "stew" that's nice over rice!. I'd like to freeze up some precooked portions that could just be thawed and nuked!. What do you think!?Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
It 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!. However, if it is real rice, then you can freeze it!.

It is an excellent way to keep fresh or leftover rice!. The best way I know of is to frrze it in zip loc bags the apmount you will need for a meal and thaw it just before you are ready to eat!. It is a wonderful timesaving and do-ahead idea!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

I put mine in a seal a meal pouch, then freeze it!. Then when I want to eat it, I just put it in boiling water to heat it up!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Rice is known to carry bacteria, I wouldn't recommend it!. Buy minute rice, it takes about 5-7 minutes to cook!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

put damp paper towel over bowl when nuking it and its like fresh cooked rice everytimeWww@FoodAQ@Com
