Left over rice

I will take it for lunch the next day. You can make fried rice and add some veggies. I like to take leftover rice, put it in a saucepan with some milk, sugar and some cinnamon. I heat up and make a pudding (sort of) and then chill and eat like a dessert. I do not really thicken it up, I kind of like it thinner but you could make it like a pudding if you wanted too. Another way I may use the rice is adding meat and veggies to it along with some spices, makes a nice leftover dish.

Hmmm it depend on nature of rice, if these are just plain boiled rice then u can do a lot with them, refresh them with some vegetables and eggg and have egg fried rices. and if u add some sweet it can me sweet rice but if they are "Pullaoo" or "Biryani" , just cover then with clith, and have them in oven for 5 minutes, they will be fresh again. eat and enjoy Or give them to ur Maid, mind it, these are suggestion, i dont follow these myself, and u know why

I see that most of those posting here have given you fried rice as a way to use the left over rice. I have found a recipe that calls for 2 cups of cooked rice. It is lemon rice and looks very good. since it is listed as an Indian dish I presume that you can find all the ingredients. Some I don't know what they are. Lemon rice ingredients:1. Lemon - 1 (big size) 2. Rice - 2 cups (cooked) 3. Green chillies - 2 (slit into half) 4. Red chillies - 2 5. Mustard seeds - ½ tsp 4. Urad dal - ½ tsp 7. Channa dal - ½ tsp 8. Cashew nuts - 5 9. Peanuts - 2 tsp 10. Curry leaves - 7 11. Asafoetida - a pinch 12. Oil - 2 tbsp 13. Salt - to taste 14. Green chillies - 2 (slit into half) 15. Red chillies - 2 Heat 2 tbsp of oil in a pan and add mustard seeds, urad dal, cashew nuts, peanuts, and channa dal. When the dales colour change into light golden brown colour then add curry leaves and red chillies. Remove all the ingredients form the pan and keep it aside. Now add the remaining oil and add turmeric powder, asafoetida and green chillies. Sauté for a min. Then add lemon juice. Cook for 2 to 3 mins. Then switch off the stove and mix with salt and cooked rice. Lemon rice is ready to eat.

Dearest I know its very diffcult to measure the exact quantity and cook especially for small families. However little you seem to take you end up having leftovers. Mayka. I think the best way to eat up the left over rice by frying it. You can actually end up cooking fantastic chinese fried rice (INdian style..lol..)! The kids love that as well. And dear, heating up the rice in oven makes it as fresh as freshly cooked steamed rice. Happy cooking!

When I have left over rice I cooked it fried rice. I just saute the garlic and if you have left over meat also you can slice it into small pieces and add it in the saute garlic I add also omellette and hotdogs. It's yummy already.....

fry it with garlic,pepper,onions,kani,soy sauce,a little sugar, and pieces of hot dogs. its nice to eat fried rice in the morning.

make lomein or chow mein with some bean sprouts, savoy cabbage,celery and soy sauce cooked and put over your heatedup' rice. also rice is good in soups,or stews or make scrambled eggs with rice added and a little soy sauce.

I suggest that you should cook enough for yourself.Don't eat left over rice.cheers..

Usually, it's fried rice for us whenever we had some left over rice. Or, if the rice wasn't enough to feed two people when fried, we just reheat it and give it to the cats -- mixed with a fish dish, of course.

Here you go friend! Coconut rice pudding! Get one can of coconut milk, (unsweetened, straight up regular stuff). Put about two cups of leftover rice in a saucepan. Open the can and dump it in. Bring the heat up to a boil and then turn it back to a simmer. Add sugar to taste, and a pinch of salt to balance the flavors.Take one egg yolk and mix it together in a separate bowl. Add a little of the hot coconut milk in to temper as you stir the yolk with a fork. Then add the whole thing to whats in the pan. Stir your rice mixture as you add the yolk and it will thicken the rest of the way. Turn off heat, let it cool down till warm. Add 1 tsp. vanilla, 1 TBL butter. Stir it around. then spoon into dishes and sprinkle with cinnamon and ENJOY!!!!!

hey dont worry, u can even make some cutlets out of it!!!! pheeewwwwwww..... i have tried it....just mix some boiled veggies to it and the seasoning and make delicious cutlets in a jiffy!!!

Yes, that would be the same thing happened in my house everyday so the thing that I used to do is to put it in the fridge and in the following days I always prepare it the different ways and it would depend also on what are the food that I will put in the table......

If you have enough left over for additional serving etc you could always freeze it...I do all the time then when you are making a meal and need a side dish the rice is already cooked and just needs to be thawed and reheated....OR if you freeze it you could add it to soups and stews OR you could make fried rice out of it....Frozen left over rice has numerous possiblities actually

I love rice pudding, rice and beans, broccoli rice casserole, and stir fried veggies served over rice. I also add rice to soups and stews and veggie burritos.

i would make some fried rice with it. you can boil and fry some vegatables. also if you have some chicken, you can make it in sn=mall pieces anf fry with sauce and mix with rice. it will be nice food.

well to me left over rice is best fried. keeping them in the fridge removes excess moisture from the rice. so when you fry them the next day you get really good fried rice. if you use just-cooked rice for frying, the end result will be lumpy. i even go to the extent of cooking rice to keep in the fridge so that i can have fried rice tomorrow. cheers :D

I would make a quick fried rice with the left over rice. If you have to gather it as the week goes on and then use it say for the sunday meal. Simply fry some onion, meat and eggs and stir through the rice. Add herbs and spices and some sweet and savoury soy. You can have dinner ready in ten minutes this way!

You can do fried rice, with fried eggs on top, ham or sausage. Pre-heat your pan then spread some oil, little only., then put crushed garlic and onions and then your left over rice. Mix it well, cook for about 10 mins. You can add onion stem cut into small pcs.
