What to do with ruined rice?

sb88_2

Hi,

I tried making some rice earlier, normally it comes out lovely, but this time I think i used to much water, or didn't rinse it long enough. anyway, it turned out goupy and I had to resort to packet rice!!

Does anyone have any idea what I could do with the rice I made today? I hate wasting food!

thanks

i think its best to bin this because rice gets alot of bacteria in it but i may be wrong.

I agree. Rice isn't good for reheating. Do you have cats? I often add cold rice to my boys' wet food to bulk it out. The vet told me the correct ratio is 25g rice to 100g food. When we're doing this I cook up a handful, drain it, cool it in cold run ing water and keep it in the fridge. *I* wouldn't eat it but the cats tuck in with no ill effects.
