Three easy rice hacks: how to freeze rice for quick reheating, how to pan-fry rice into golden crispy squares, and why cold leftover rice makes the best fried rice.
Cooked white riceCan be freshly cooked or leftover chilled rice~2 cupsest.
Cooking oilFor shallow frying the rice squares~2-3 tbspest.
Spicy tunaOptional topping, can substitute with any topping you like~½ cupest.
Steps
1
Portion cooked rice into a ziplock bag, flatten into sections, and freeze until solid. Later, snap off a portion, place on a plate, and microwave for about two minutes to reheat.
2
Spread fresh or leftover rice into an even layer on a tray, cut into squares, then shallow fry until golden and crispy on both sides. Top with anything you like, such as spicy tuna.
3
Use cold leftover rice straight from the fridge to make fried rice, since chilled rice is drier and separates well, giving you the best fried rice texture.
