Equipments:

  • frying pan or wok

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups fried rice

Instructions:

Reheat the fried rice (quick stir fry)

  • Melt some oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • If you want to add any extra protein or vegetables, now is the time to do so.
  • Add the leftover fried rice plus sprinkle some water – approximately one tablespoon per cup of rice.
  • Stir the rice gently until the water or liquid added has completely evaporated, re-hydrated the rice, and it reaches the right temperature.
  • Turn off the heat and serve immediately.

Notes:

steam-frying on the stovetop

This variant of stir-frying starts in the same way, described above, but there are some additional steps.

here is the entire process:

  • Melt some oil or butter in a frying pan over medium heat.
  • If you want to add any extra protein or vegetables, now is the time to do so.
  • Add the leftover fried rice plus some water – approximately two tablespoons per cup of rice.
  • Stir to mix in the water thoroughly. 
  • Put the lid in position on the pan and wait for the water to stop steaming.
  • Once the evaporation is complete, remove the lid, turn the heat up to high, and stir-fry for a further 5 to 10 minutes.
  • You have to continuously stir the rice while cooking to avoid it sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Serve and enjoy.
