Gelson’s Back to School Lunches with Jessica Siegel - Veggie Fried Rice

In today's Gelson’s Back to School Lunches with Jessica Siegel video series, Jessica shares a tasty new Veggie Fried Rice recipe. She loves this easy method of making the fried rice since mixing the egg with the rice first eliminates an extra step and nicely incorporates the flavors into the dish. Be sure to cook and cool your rice ahead of time. Transfer the frozen rice to a microwavable glass dish with a couple of tablespoons of water at the bottom, cover it with a damp paper towel and microwave it for 3-4 minutes to cook to at least 165° Fahrenheit, then cool it in the refrigerator right away for several hours. The fried rice recipe needs to be made the night before you pack it so you can ensure there’s enough time to cool it to below 41° Fahrenheit. Pack it in an insulated lunch box with an ice pack.
