To prepare, you can typically heat this chicken fried rice in a microwave or on the stovetop. For microwave preparation, remove the film and heat for a specified time, stirring halfway through. On the stovetop, empty the contents into a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until heated through. Ensure the meal is thoroughly heated before serving to enjoy its best texture and flavor. It is designed to be heated directly from the freezer.
