If you have two cups of cold rice left — 10 kinds of lunch bowls instead of fried rice
I opened the rice cooker in the morning and there were two extra cups of rice from yesterday's cooking. It's too wasteful to throw it away, and if I just eat it as is, the cold rice doesn't spread well. I used to always make fried rice, but fried rice requires quite a bit of oil and you have to chop all the ingredients, so it's more labor-intensive than I thought. Cold rice actually spreads much faster when you add it to the broth or press it down and pour it out. Since the starch is hardened, it doesn't disperse well when added to the broth, and if poured out, the outside gets crispy. Below are ten examples.
I opened the rice cooker in the morning
There were two servings of rice Jeon cooked yesterday left.
It's too wasteful to throw away
So let's eat it as it is.
Cold rice doesn't go well
I used to always make fried rice.

But fried rice needs to use a lot of oil.
Because the materials also have to be prepared in various ways.
My hands are faster than I thought.
Cold rice is actually
The side that goes into the broth or is pressed to be poured
It's much faster.
Because the protein is hard
It doesn't spread well when put in the broth.
If you fry it, the outside gets crispy.
All ten rows below are
It ends with just one pot or one fan.
The front is water logistics
The back ones are things you fold or press to eat.

1. Egg porridge (10 minutes)
[Ingredients]
Cold rice 1 cup, water 400ml, 1 egg
[Seasoning]
sesame oil, salt, seaweed flakes
Pour water over the cold rice and boil it on medium heat.
When the rice grains start to spread
Crack the eggs and stir them in.
It works well if you use cold rice.
If it's made with freshly cooked rice
It turns into a loose thread soon.
2. Kimchi rice soup (10 minutes)

Cold rice 1 cup, fresh kimchi ½ cup, water 400ml

Or 15 minutes)
[Ingredients]
Remaining rice, water
[Ratio]
Nuri: Water = 1 : 3
Press cold rice thinly into the pan.
If you cook it on low heat until crispy, it becomes rice crackers.
The rice cakes I made
Pour three times the amount of water and boil it.
If it boils over, simmer on medium heat for more than 10 minutes.
I thought it would take only 3 minutes, so I turned it off.
You will have to eat it hard.
Pour water the night before yesterday.
If you put it in the refrigerator, it will be 5 minutes in the morning.

4. Rice paste (10 minutes)
[Ingredients]
1 cup of cold rice, 1 egg, a little batter powder
[Companion]
soy

If you chop the kimchi finely and mix it
It becomes kimchi rice pancake.

6. Omurice (10 minutes)
[Ingredients]
Cold rice 1 cup, 2 eggs, a little onion and ham

Just once gently

9. Rice bowl topped with egg stew (10 minutes)
[Ratio]
Egg : water = 1 : 1.5
Make the egg steamed with low heat
Place it whole on cold rice.
The heat and moisture of egg steamed rice
Make the cold rice soft.
10. Freeze it (5 minutes)
If I think there will be cold rice left for more than two days
Freeze it right away.
Once it cools down, pack it flat in the rap.
To the freezer
If you leave it until it is completely cold
It starts to deteriorate during that time and
If you leave it in the refrigerator, the rice gets harder.
It has to be frozen flat
It is evenly heated in the microwave.
Cold rice is not rice
It's easier to think of it as a material.
Put in the broth or press and drizzle
Either one will be fine.
Rice is better frozen than refrigerated.
It's enough to make the kimchi rise when you heat it.
