The rice cooker is one of the most commonly used kitchen appliances in the family. It can help us cook and steam vegetables, which is very convenient. However, sometimes when we are busy with work or other things, we may do too much and cause waste, leaving a lot of meals, especially the leftovers in the rice cooker. What should we do at this time?

First of all, we can put the leftover rice in the refrigerator, so as to keep the food fresh. If necessary, it can be taken out and heated when it is used, which will be mentioned below.

Sub-package the rice into small portions, each with a proper weight, which is convenient for cooking at any time or preparing other flavors of rice, porridge, etc.

Secondly, we can cook leftovers and cook other more delicious dishes. For example, we can add eggs and vegetables to make fried rice or stir-fry, which will not waste food and solve the problem of eating the same food every day.

Third, you can also cook porridge with leftovers, which is nutritious and does not waste food. You can add some meat or seafood, and if you like sweetness, you can add some ingredients such as soybean milk and longan, which is more delicious.

Finally, if the space in the refrigerator is limited, or there is no time to cook other dishes for the time being, we can add some water to the leftovers in the pot and heat them slowly over medium heat, which is equivalent to cooking the rice again until the food is soft and ready to eat.

In a word, leftover rice is not necessarily a waste. As long as we try to make use of it, we can make more delicious food and reduce waste, which is also a sign of health, environmental protection and economy.
