We often keep leftover rice in the refrigerator for the admirable purpose of helping to reduce food waste. What happens in many cases is that, after a few days, it ends up being thrown away because looks unappetizing due to dehydration that causes its conservation at low temperature.
However, there are very simple methods that can revive this food, restoring its moisture and texture, so that it is as loose as the first day. The following are three ideas to take advantage of those leftover rice that can solve a meal if you give them the opportunity.
Heat it in the microwave
Using this appliance is the fastest and easiest way to reheat your leftover rice. You just have to make sure add a few tablespoons of broth or water for each cup of rice. Before putting it in the microwave, it is important that you cover the bowl with plastic wrap to create a steaming effect while it reheats.
Skip it
If you have ten minutes, take a wok or large skillet and heat sunflower oil over high heat. Prepare a delicious fried rice breaking the typical agglomerations caused by the refrigerator with a wooden spoon. This way, the oil will coat the beans evenly and both taste and look great.
Bake it
For this method you will need a saucepan, a few tablespoons of butter and a little broth or water. Cover the saucepan and cook the rice over low heat. Stir occasionally until heated through.
