Hi, looks felish. How would you freeze this? I'm always looking for dinners that u can batch make and then defrost day of!

Thanks in advance!

We recommend baking it completely, then cooling it promptly and transferring it to airtight, freezer-safe containers. You can freeze it in individual portions or as a full pan, tightly wrapped. For best quality, use within 2–3 months. When ready to serve reheat covered at 325–350°F with a splash of chicken broth or water to keep the rice moist, until heated through. Add the fresh scallions and sesame seeds after reheating. Enjoy!

Sounds good. So sounds like I cook straight from freezer no defrosting in fridge first right?
