Cooked rice. Can you reheat it the day after?

[Denn Forever]

Have boiled too much rice.  Can I boil it up tomorrow and use it then?  Have heard various rumours aboutt the advisability of this.  Can you do it?

[Puckoon]

Absolutely, it'd be sinful not to. Just refrigerate it.

Or fry it up tomorrow, will be lovely - really hot wok and the right amount of oil.

[Lecale2]

Go for it! A lot of take aways reheat rice all the time.

Boiled rice should be fine...fried rice seems to be a bit dodgy...well it was for me in Spain anyway  (I didn't reheat it; had it in a restaurant my guess is it was like fried earlier in the day and not kept at the correct temperature or something)

My guess would be you were drinking to much! 

A good load of rice cooked at the start of the week should feed you all week. Fire a few veggies into it and a bit chilli sauce!

Haha no I only had one glass of wine that night honestly!!!  Sure I'm an angel!!!  You would never see me drunk 

[Hurler on the Bitch]

Yes, and some (well one I saw this week) keep a big barrel of rice out the back, in the rain. The wee chinky boy came out and filled a pot out of the barrel.

Hardstation - I take offence at the use of the word 'chinky'. It is disgraceful to talk about slanty-eyed people like that. Wise- Up..

[Hurler on the Bitch]

I threw that in on purpose. Some did the nut when some boy called the judges of Kenny Egan's fight 'chinky b**tards'. It's a bit stupid, I reckon.

Going on his past form - was that boy Paddy Barnes?

[Hurler on the Bitch]

No. Some boy on this board. Other posters cracked up.

Did u miss the Irony of 'Slanty-Eyed People'?

[Puckoon]

There are no problems reheating almost anything. Maybe I have a cast iron constitution.

[Abble]

BIG NO !

I'm no gordon ramsay but i DEFINITELY recall some cooking show on one night there and it said NOT to reheat rice, I cant remember exactly why but it did make me sit up and think !!

[Puckoon]

Eat it cold then! I eat cold chinese food all the time.

[downgirl]

You could use it for a cold rice salad...there you go economical and healthy!

[Puckoon]

Cold rice salad - disgusting.

[downgirl]

What all is in your cold rice salad puck?  I don't like proper salad it tastes like grass to me but my mum's rice salad is lovely.
