Recipes for using left over rice, please

I second the special fried rice-type dish. There's a good tutorial on videojug if I remember rightly. It's very tasty.

I make a rice salad and it is be-yew-di-ful.You may not have all the ingredients but with a little imagination you could substitute some of them.

MIx your left over rice with: a handful of dried cranberries (you could use raisins maybe), one grated carrott, one stick of celery diced, one spring onion chopped, and sprinkle a few chopped almonds over the top.Mix in a dressing made with orange juice and olive oil(sorry can't remember the quantities).

You could have it with a couple of slices of ham or a piece of cheese.

Anything that's leftover goes in next time i'm making soup.

If the rice is plain (no salt or herbs or stock etc) then you could make a quick rice pudding out of it.

Or you could make some egg fried rice or a quick rice salad using veg and herbs...

Alternatively, rice can be frozen - just make sure you reheat it well when you come round to eating it.

You have to be a bit careful reheating rice

No you don't. What you have to be careful of is eating rice that has been kept warm for a long time.

Rice that has been cooled then reheated thoroughly is perfectly safe. If it wasn't there wouldn't be such a thing as egg-fried rice which is what I recommend you do with your rice;)

Fry whatever veggies you have around. Spring onions are good plus carrots, mushrooms, beans and some frozen peas. Add your rice stir well to heat through. Tip in a beaten egg and stir to cook, splash on some soy sauce.

Just did this. Used onion and carrot fried in chilli and oil, threw in sweetcorn , peas and peppers (all froxen), then chopped ham, rice, cooked, egg. Soy sauce and topped off with vinegar (always have it on fried rice! )

YUMMY! Simple. Like it.:j:D

maybe so, but......

lots of people ask about using cold rice and (i may be wrong) but i don't think there's a current thread.

i use cold leftover rice when making bean and veggie burgers, as well as fried rice
