How to store rice properly

How to reheat rice properly

If you have a microwave, then do the following: For every 200 milliliters of porridge, add 1 tablespoon of water, close the container with a lid and put it in the oven to warm up for 3-4 minutes.

In the same way, rice is heated on the stove in a saucepan. As soon as the water boils away, the rice can be eaten.

If you want to heat up rice in a frying pan, then take a deep frying pan, pour oil into it and add rice. It needs to be heated, constantly stirring with a spatula so that each grain of rice is greased with oil.
