To prepare, simply remove the frozen fried rice from its packaging. Most varieties can be heated in a microwave or on the stovetop.

On the stovetop, empty the contents into a skillet and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until heated through. Ensure the rice is steaming hot before serving for the best texture and flavor.
