Leftover rice ideas? Give me yours, plus has anyone tried rice as a hot cereal?

[lukesmama]

I remember that Amy D. (Tightwad Gazette) says she discovered leftover rice made a good hot breakfast when reheated with some milk and, I think, sugar.

Has anyone tried this?

I am wondering because today for lunch I made myself a pot of actual rice (i.e., not rice-a-roni) and have a ton left over. I was considering having it for breakfast tomorrow but am unsure what that would taste like, with milk and sugar, and don't want to have to throw it out if it's gross.

Anyone have any good leftover rice uses? I know of casseroles, but I'm the only one who will eat rice in this house, so I don't want to add a lot of ingredients just to make the rice edible. (If that makes sense!)

Thanks for any input!

If you have an egg, soy sauce, and a can or a frozen bag of peas and carrots you can make some yummy fried rice. You can add any meat you want to it, or no meat at all!

That sounds good! I need some soy sauce, though. I think I recall it's pretty cheap, so that might be do-able, since I have to go to the store anyway tomorrow.

When do you add the egg - when you put the rice in the skillet, or before?

Thanks!

My dad's favorite breakfast was 2 over easy eggs on a plate of hot rice. It was always the night before's as he also loved beans and rice for dinner. I like the eggs and rice too, but I add a few slices of bacon.

I sauttee onion and mushrooms, then throw leftover rice in a skillet with it and some soy sauce and stiry fry it for a bit--and VOILA! Fried Rice!

I like baked rice pudding with raisins, spanish rice, scrambled eggs containing sauteed onions, and rice served with soy sauce. I also like any beans with rice, chili served over rice, and fried rice.

We do the fried rice and my youngest DD loves to put some butter and sugar on it, heat it in the microwave a little and them add milk.

mmmm butter and sugar on rice, i haven't had that in quite awhile! and yes, it makes a very good breakfast 'cereal'.

I like rice with a can of black beans, tomato sauce, and taco seasoning. I use this to stuff in burritos.

Raisins and nuts are good. Rice freezes well also.

We had rice for breakfast with a little sugar (you can use brown sugar too), a little milk (like you do oatmeal), and a dash of cinnamon.

I hated raisins in it, but that is how most people eat it.
