Reuse

What can I make with leftover rice?

If cooked rice is sitting in the fridge, start here before throwing it away. Turn it into fritters, soup, pudding, or another practical second dish.

For something savory, start from fritters and soup ideas.
For dessert, rice pudding-style recipes are the cleanest first step.
If you only have a small amount of rice, add binding ingredients like eggs, yogurt, or flour in search.
