Left over rice

[sully123]

We had family round tonight so I made Quorn chilli and rice but made way too much rice! Any ideas what I could use the left over rice for? Salads, soups (have no idea if you can put rice in soup) etc? X

Freeze it. I do all the time put them in portion sizes so that way the next time you want some rice you can take it out first thing or just microwave and enjoy x

This sounds lovely, minus the chicken for me as I'm a veggie! I cooked far too much rice for our fakeaway last night and now I know what to do with the rest of it!! Thanks x

Just made this without the soy sauce! Someone threw ours away . Tastes nice enough without. Can't wait to have it at work later!
