What to Make With Leftover Rice
Cold rice is an ingredient, not a scrap — here is how to use it safely and well.
Ideas that actually work
Fried rice
High heat, hot oil, egg, and anything else in the fridge.
Rice soup
Add to broth with vegetables for a fast, filling bowl.
Stuffed peppers
Mix with cooked meat and sauce, stuff, and bake 30 minutes.
Rice fritters
Bind with egg and cheese and pan-fry into crisp cakes.
How long it keeps
Cool quickly and refrigerate within one hour; eat within 3–4 days and reheat until steaming.
