What Can I Make with Cooked Rice?
I have a rice maker that I use on a regular basis. However, I usually get a little overly ambitious and make more than I need.
I have been eating the extra with soy sauce (not exactly very creative). What else can I make with cooked rice?
Update: I found this recipe:
Baked Rice Pudding Recipe
1/2 cup cooked rice
3 eggs (beaten)
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup raisins
3 1/2 cups milk
Ground nutmeg
In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except nutmeg. Pour mixture into a lightly buttered shallow baking dish and sprinkle with nutmeg. Place baking dish in a pan of hot water in oven and Place baking dish in a pan of hot water in oven and bake at 300° for about 1 1/2 hours, or until set.

i LOVE rice pudding.
You can also use it to soak up juices in almost any casserole.
Put it in a pan with lots of garlic and butter and add some tomato sauce for spanish rice.

We love mexican food. Just this week we made spanish rice and then made vegetarian tacos. We’ve also made quesidillas with spanish rice.

Heat up some chicken broth and add the rice to it.
Another delicious and quick meal.

I make fried rice with it.
Cook some sausage, leftover chicken or porkshop.
Saute some chopped onion along with the meat until it is soft.
Scramble some eggs and fry them until they are completely done.
Add the cooked rice, any veggies you like and some soy sauce and heat through.
It’s a fast one pot meal that uses up lots of leftovers and makes a filling dinner.

Spam Musubi! I lived in Hawaii for several years and this is a popular food there (I hate Spam, but I LOVE this).
You’ll need:
1 can of Spam
Cooked rice (best if slightly sticky)
soy sauce
nori (or dried seaweed sheets)
Slice the spam long and lightly fry with a little oil and soy sauce. Shape a “rectangle” of rice (I have a musubi shaper for this purpose) and put block of rice on top of spam. Again, it should all stick together. Then cut a strip of Nori (about 1″) and go around the middle of the musubi. Let it sit for a few minutes to soften the nori and enjoy!
They sell these at movie theaters - wrapped in saran wrap. I make a batch and put them in the fridge to pop in the microwave.
They do the same thing with hot dogs, chicken, etc.
You can also add some soy to the rice if desired

I agree with the fried rice - yummy! My oldest daughter eats it up (and I like it because she’s eating veggies and protein with her rice!)
We also have a quick “Tex-Mex” Rice Casserole that we make with leftover rice. It’s very easy, just mix leftover rice, salsa (you choose the heat), chopped up olives (optional), black beans (again optional), cheddar cheese and pop it in the microwave for 2 - 3 minutes (or until heated through and cheese melty.) Very yummy, nice for lunch.

I’m not much of a cook, so this isn’t a “real” recipe, but I’m never at a loss for something to do with rice. I just love to add it to soup, almost any kind of soup, but especially split pea. For me, brown rice with split pea soup and a slice or two of whole grain bread is the perfect meal.
Oh, and as far as rice pudding, I make a “fake” rice pudding that is quite tasty (imo) with soy milk and oat bran. Just take about a cup of cooked brown rice (I’m sure it would work with white rice), 1/2 cup vanilla soy milk, 1/4 cup oat bran, about 1 TBSP of pure maple syrup, and stick it in the microwave for about 3 minutes (or until it kind of sets). Yummy.

I too have a rice cooker and often make more than needed on purpose - my family loves it reheated for breakfast with cinnamon and sugar or fruit mixed in and a little sugar. Sometimes they add milk like cereal but more often than not will just add the cinnamon and sugar and apples or peaches to it. They LOVE this.

either lots of butter and salt which is woth the added fat and calories or just make your favorite casserole subbing rice for any other starch related layer same old traditional casserole but it adds such a variation on texture
