Reimagining Yellow Rice

[DanM]

Last week I was gifted with a large pan of yellow rice with peas, onions and mushrooms. There is enough to feed an army and I am not sure how to use the rest. Any thoughts out there on reimagining these leftovers?

I'd divide it into sections and freeze it. There's nothing in it that shouldn't freeze well.

At least some of that calls out for Lazy Bastard Risotto. Make up your favourite mushroom cream sauce and reheat the rice by simmering in said sauce for 10-15 minutes. E presto! Creamy, mushroomy goodness.

I'm with Jaymes big time.

I could freeze it, but I am sure it will only die a slower death in the freezer.

Make Chinese fried rice and serve it for breakfast, along with a couple of fried eggs and some sliced sausage (or other protein). For the fried rice, you don't need much else -- maybe a couple of garlic cloves, minced and some soy sauce.

You could make a paella-inspired dish from some of it.

Lots of varieties of soup go quite well with a few handsful of yellow rice with peas, onions and mushrooms tossed in.

Frittata would work very well. You could also make deep fried rice balls.

Make arancini (that you can freeze later). A quick google search will through up loads of recipes :-)
