Ingredients

Directions

  1. Rinse the cooked rice gently under cold water if it has been stored, then drain well to remove excess moisture.
  2. Heat a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat and add a small amount of oil or butter to prevent sticking.
  3. Add the rice to the pan and stir frequently to ensure even heating and to fluff up the grains.
  4. Season the rice with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting based on personal preference for saltiness.
  5. Continue cooking for 5 to 7 minutes until the rice is heated through and slightly crisped at the bottom.
  6. Remove from heat, transfer to a serving bowl, and serve immediately while warm.

Note

For added flavor, consider stirring in a splash of soy sauce or a dash of sesame oil before serving.

Leftover rice can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.

If using day-old rice, it tends to separate better and is less likely to become mushy during reheating.
