If you've cooked too much rice, don't rush to throw it away: leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.
And how to properly reheat cold rice so that it becomes as tasty as immediately after cooking, was explained by the expert of the online publication BelNovosti, chef Yulia Arkhipova.
In the microwave
You need to add a little water to the food container in which the rice was stored – two tablespoons for every 200 ml of cereal.
After this, cover the container with a lid and put it in the microwave for 3-4 minutes. Serve the rice immediately after it has been heated.
In a frying pan
You will need a deep frying pan, the bottom of which should be greased with oil, and then transfer the rice into it.
While the pan is heating, stir the contents, breaking up any lumps as you go. You want to make sure that every grain of rice is coated with oil.
In a saucepan
Add 1-2 tablespoons of oil (vegetable or melted butter) to the pot with the rice stored in it, and also water - 1-2 tablespoons for each cup of rice.
The saucepan, covered with a lid, should be placed on low heat and its contents should be stirred from time to time. When all the water has boiled away, you can remove the dishes from the stove.
