Enjoy your delicious egg fried rice for longer by storing it correctly. This versatile dish, packed with fluffy rice, scrambled eggs, and your favorite vegetables, can be preserved to maintain its delightful texture and flavor.

Storage Time

3–4 days in the refrigerator, up to 2–3 months in the freezer for best quality.

Temperature

Keep refrigerated at or below 4°C (40°F).

Freezing

To freeze egg fried rice, allow it to cool completely. Portion it into airtight containers or freezer bags, removing as much air as possible to prevent freezer burn. For best results, consume within 2–3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat thoroughly until steaming hot, or microwave until heated through. Note that the texture of the rice may become slightly softer after freezing.

Signs of Spoilage

• A sour or off-putting smell.
• Slimy or mushy texture.
• Visible mold growth or discoloration.
