Overcooked rice can be used in the preparation of liver pancakes - you get a full-fledged second course.
For a kilogram of liver, you will need 200 g of rice, 2 onions, 3 chicken eggs, a tablespoon of flour, salt and pepper to taste and vegetable oil for frying. The liver, peeled from the films, must be passed through a meat grinder, along with onions, then add boiled rice (not necessarily overcooked, but overcooked is fine), eggs, a spoonful of flour, salt and pepper to taste into the liver-onion mass. Mix the whole mass thoroughly. Fry pancakes as usual - in vegetable oil on both sides until cooked, spreading the mass in a pan with a tablespoon.
Once I used not a meat grinder, but a blender when cooking fritters. I whipped all the ingredients together (including the rice itself - I didn’t even add flour in this case, since the resulting liver mass was quite satisfied in terms of density) - the child liked such pancakes even more.
From the remains of boiled rice, original rolls will be obtained. It's great if it is rice with high stickiness, such as rice "Japanese" "National". Soft white rice is the basis of most Japanese dishes that we also love, great for sushi, traditional gohan, chahan and other traditional dishes. For the filling, cut into thin strips 1 peeled avocado and 1 fresh cucumber. We spread an even layer of rice on a sheet of nori seaweed, place the filling in the middle. We roll up a tight roll and cut into portions.
Crispy balls
Rice croquettes are another hearty snack option. Soft long-grain rice is suitable here, for example, Jasmine Rice National. This is one of the best varieties of rice in the world. Snow-white friable rice "Jasmine" has a delicate and refined taste and milky aroma. We heat 150 ml of cream, melt 200 g of hard grated cheese, add 200 g of rice and a handful of chopped green onions. We knead a homogeneous plastic mass, cool and sculpt even balls. Roll them alternately in flour, beaten egg and ground breadcrumbs, fry until crispy in a large amount of oil.
Quick pancakes
Cooked rice fritters are quick and easy to make. Rice "Selected" "National" will give them original taste notes. We knead the dough from 200 g of cooked rice, 3 beaten eggs, 60 g of flour and 100 g of grated hard cheese. If desired, you can add pieces of ham, green onions or parsley here. Heat oil in a frying pan, spoon over pancakes and fry until golden brown on both sides.
Peppers of abundance
Peppers stuffed with rice and vegetables do not require much time and effort. Rice can be anything. But remember that long-grain varieties, such as Golden Rice National, are best suited for dishes with fillings. Thanks to a special steam treatment, the nutrients, minerals and vitamins contained in the shell enter the inside of the grain, increasing its nutritional value. We make a frying of 2 onions and 2 carrots, add 300 g of tomatoes in their own juice, salt and spices, simmer for 5 minutes. We combine half of the sauce with rice and stuff the peppers. Pour the second half of them in a saucepan, add a little hot water and simmer under the lid until tender.
Meatballs with cheese
Boiled rice just asks for meatballs. If it is medium-grain rice "Adriatica" "National", the dish will be much tastier. This is a soft variety of rice, the grains of which are able to absorb the tastes and aromas of all the ingredients that make up the dish during cooking. Therefore, meatballs are colorful and very fragrant. Mix 500 g of minced meat, 100 g of cooked rice, fried onions and carrots, beat in an egg, salt and pepper to taste. We make meatballs, brown them in a pan, and then put them in a baking dish and put in the oven at 200 ° C for 20 minutes.
Soup in a hurry
Ready-made rice successfully complements homemade soups. If you follow the diet, Krasnodar National round-grain rice is the best choice for soup. It got its name in honor of the Krasnodar Territory, where round-grain rice is grown, which is traditionally included in the diet of Russian families. Pass the chopped onion and medium grated carrots in oil with a pinch of black and red pepper. Add 300 g of boiled chicken in slices, fry for 15 minutes, then pour in 1.5 liters of any broth and lay 150 g of boiled rice. To make the soup richer, season it with sour cream with chopped herbs before serving.
As you can see, from the leftover rice, you can prepare a complete menu for the whole family. The main thing is that it be a product of the highest quality, such as rice produced by TM "National". It invariably pleases with a variety of tastes and benefits that cannot be overestimated.

Shelf life
How to store dry rice can be found on the manufacturer's packaging. As a rule, in the original packaging, dry cereals retain their properties for at least 10 months. If you bought rice by weight, then follow the simple recommendations of the chefs.
- Make sure that the cereal is completely dry, otherwise mold will soon begin to develop.
- Store rice in airtight containers in a dark, dry place.
- You should not store cereals in the same bag in which it was purchased: there may be various insects or their larvae. Therefore, after buying, rinse the rice and transfer to another package.
- Use containers with sealed lids.
- Separate rice from foods with a strong aroma: the product tends to absorb all odors.
- Make sure there is no dampness in the refrigerator. It is the influence of moisture that leads to the formation of a yellow fungus.
If you cooked rice porridge in milk, then eat it in the first 24 hours, after which you can only throw it away. Rice cooked with water can be kept in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The finished product can even be frozen. In this case, the porridge is stored for about 30 days, does not lose its properties, but becomes a little drier. Consider the features of freezing boiled rice.
- The storage container must be hermetically sealed.
- During the first day, take out the container every 2-3 hours and knead or stir the rice. As a result, it will be crumbly, will not stick together in a lump.
- You can defrost porridge in the microwave or in a pan. In the latter case, add a little water so that the rice does not burn.
The preparation of rice may vary depending on the type of rice. Experienced housewives share the secrets of cooking delicious cereal dishes.
- For regular round rice, count 1 cup of cereal to 2 cups of water.
- Chinese rice is oblong in shape and absorbs more liquid during cooking, so cook at the rate of 1 cup of cereal to 3 cups of water.
- Whole brown rice in the shell is cooked much longer than other types. Count 1 cup of cereal to 2 cups of liquid. Please note that it is this rice cereal that is considered the most beneficial for the body.
- Brown rice is better to steam than to cook in the usual way. The finished product seems slightly undercooked, but overall very tasty. This method of cooking allows you to save all the vitamins and minerals that are contained in the grains. Steaming porridge is much easier and faster than boiling it.
- Calculating the amount of rice in a dish is quite simple. There are about 50–80 grams of cereal per serving, depending on the recipe.
- If you are preparing cereal for salad, then use a large amount of water with the addition of salt. After boiling, it is necessary to discard the porridge in a colander and rinse with cold water.
- To prepare rice porridge, it is necessary to strictly observe the proportions of water and cereals. Otherwise, you will end up with either an overcooked or undercooked meal.
- When preparing paella, you should first fry seafood with cereals, and then add boiling water or hot broth to the pan.
