Thanks for all your answers. Normally, there's never any of my wife's
kedgeree left over, but I let the side down by forgetting the dinner
menu and defrosting a tuna steak that had to be eaten that night
(sacrifice, sacrifice).

So we decided to experiment and froze the remaining portion and my
wife ate it for lunch today and - guess what? The yolks were fine, but
the pieces of defrosted (in the fridge) and reheated (in the microwave
in a small glass casserole dish and sprinkled with water) egg whites
were a bit "rubbery." Not badly so - I tried a bite or two - but not
like they would have been had the kedgeree been fresh.

Altogether, I wouldn't say no to eating it again, but my wife polished
it off before I had a chance.
