Ok help!!! I want to make a white sauce using rice dream then add some chicken stock to it for flavour. Now does anyone know if you can freeze rice dream, its just it would be so much easier to make a batch and freeze it than having to make a portion for one everytime, thanks guys.

Both white sauce and rice dream wouldn't freeze well. Have you made the white sauce before? I find soy/rice plain sauces are not so good. I have made it successfully with concentrated veggie stock/bouillion added to the milk/marg/flour and then spicy italian sausage over bisquits.

I've made tuna and noodles with a white sauce using margarine/flour/Rice Dream and it froze fine. But I don't think I ever tried freezing the sauce alone.
The soy/rice milks are so expensive compared to regular milk that I always thought once I opened it I should try freezing half of it or so, since it was difficult to use it all up. You can't freeze it in the original container, but that didn't matter because I wanted to try freezing it after opening. I don't use rice/soy milk anymore, though, and I never did try it.
If you did try freezing sauce or milk, I would definitely thaw it in the fridge and not try doing so in the microwave or on the counter.
