What to do with leftover white rice
We had leftover, Chinese-restaurant supplied, 4-day old white rice in
the cardboard container it came in in the 'frig when I looked in there today. My 18-year-old was home sick, and asked for a hot lunch. Wok, or in my case, wok-style-shaped-sorta frying pan, add olive oil, deli ham cut into small pieces, a frozen crushed garlic cube, onion powder, and black pepper, and cook on high heat, stirring often, getting the ham pieces just a bit brown and crunchy. Turn down heat to medium, add more olive oil, leftover rice, more onion powder, more black pepper, and a soy-sauce-like thing - I used Bragg's Liquid Aminos. Stir often, add soy sauce until it tastes right. Voila, homemade pork fried rice. My son ate the whole bowl, so it must not have been too bad. -S- |

Not worth the trouble... poke fly lice from the same joint where you got the LO white rice is pretty cheap and much more authentic than your concoction, certainly a lot less labor, and if you consider all the ingredients you added yours cost near as much, and you had to cook it and clean up. My four day old LO white rice gets tossed outdoors for the critters... actually mine never sees inside my fridge, after the meal the LO white rice goes directly outside, because a very long time ago I learned that odds are it would sit in the fridge till it composts. I'm sure Stan eats his cold the next morning with Heinz red |

I'm sure Stan eats his cold the next morning with Heinz red Mine took five minutes to make, and I didn't have to get in the car to get it, nor do I think it costs anywhere near what it would have cost from the restaurant - I put maybe 4 slices of ham into it, figure that's maybe $1 or 2 worth. Authentic? Who cares - mine tasted good. I did have to cook and clean up, I agree. Cleaning out the frying pan took maybe another minute, and the dishwasher handled everything else. I hate to throw away food - just rubs me the wrong way when I know that millions of people go to bed hungry every night. I figure the least I can do is find a way to use it if at all possible. -S- |

Bragg's Liquid Aminos was mentioned and I wonder why anyone would have it around? I've seen it in Fresh Fields and our local foood-nut coop but I can't see any advantage over regular soy sauce (shoyu), of which I keep 4 varieties: regular, light-colored, black and thin. I even have Ponzu (soy sauce with citrus juice). -- James Silverton Potomac, Maryland Email, with obvious alterations: not.jim.silverton.at.verizon.not |

I even have Ponzu (soy sauce with > citrus juice). I couldn't really tell you - it's what we've used for soy sauce for a long time, either that or Dr. Bronner's - I think we started with the latter close to 30 years ago. Maybe it's got less salt? I really don't know, but somewhere along the way, we either decided it tasted better, was better for us, or both. Certainly not OT, either. -S- |

I even have Ponzu (soy sauce with citrus > juice). it's touted as 'healthier': Ingredients: Our Bragg Liquid Aminos are made from health-giving, NON-GMO soybeans and purified water. They are an excellent, healthy, gourmet replacement for Tamari and Soy Sauce. Not fermented or heated and Gluten-Free. Bragg's has a small amount of naturally occurring sodium. No table salt is added. If less sodium is desired use a 6 oz. Bragg's spray bottle and dilute with 1/3 distilled water or to taste and then either add in or spray on food. Bragg Liquid Aminos contains: * no chemicals * no artificial coloring * no alcohol * no preservatives * no Gluten * Certified NON-GMO <http://bragg.com/products/bragg-liquid-aminos-soy-alternative.html> ....but i'd take that with a grain of, um, salt. doesn't sound much different from genuine soy, with the possible exception of 'purified' water and non-GMO beans. personally, i don't see fermentation as a bad thing. the bottle looks kinda spiffy, though: <http://www.fruitsandroots.co.za/products/braggs-liquid-amino> your pal, blake your pal, blake |

My MIL used to make breakfast porridge from leftover rice. Even less flavor than homminy grits, but like grits all of the flavor is what you put in it and the starch is a base. With cream and/or butter it's not that different from oatmeal, grits or other hot cereal. |

Or do it the lazy way - buy some Dutch nasi goreng mixture (I like Conimex) and a leek and whatever stir-fry vegetables and meat you like, make up a nasi goreng according to the instructions, add Tabasco sauce/sambal olek/the paintstripper of your choice, and enjoy.

Voila--breakfast. That's basically the same approach I took, I think - a bit of meat, a bit of seasoning, and you're good to go. I've done it with the egg before and liked that, just forgot about that this time. -S- |

Yes!! Too many gringos haven't yet discovered the beauty that is rice with eggs. I also do some variations of this (thai sweet chili sauce, and the like). Rice sups up egg yolk nicely. I prefer not to throw away food, either. If you're wealthy and have no kids, I guess. But, those of us who have been raised not to waste food and are living on budgets (and don't see animals as equal to humans) have to consume it while it's good. I just hate unspiced white rice. I always perfer rice to be infused with some flavors. |
