How do you store crispy rice?

To optimally store crispy rice and ensure it retains its crunchiness as much as possible, you can follow these tips: Let Cool: Before storing the crispy rice, it is important to let it cool completely to room temperature. This prevents condensation inside the storage container, which can make the rice soggy. Airtight Container: Use an airtight container to store the rice. This helps keep the rice crispy by minimizing exposure to air and moisture. Refrigerator: Store the airtight container with crispy rice in the refrigerator. While this won't keep the rice perfectly crispy like just out of the oven, it does help keep the rice fresh and safe. The crispy rice can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheating: To reheat the crispy rice and restore its crunchiness as much as possible, heat it on a baking sheet in the oven or use a hot pan on the stove. Avoid the microwave, as this can make the rice soft and mushy. If using an oven, heat the rice at 180°C until it is warm and somewhat crispy again. In a pan, you can add a little oil and heat the rice over medium heat until it is crispy again. By following these steps, you can enjoy your leftover crispy rice while retaining as much of its texture and flavor as possible.

Which rice is best to use for this crispy rice recipe?

Already cooled, cooked rice works best! You can use regular white rice or basmati rice, but the recipe also works fantastic with whole grain rice, black rice, or even cooked quinoa. Do you have some leftover rice from yesterday? Perfect, because drier rice becomes even crispier in the oven!

Can I eat this crispy rice salad warm and cold?

Absolutely! Once the tray comes out of the oven and you sprinkle some fresh spring onion over it, the dish is delightful to serve warm. But it’s also great served lukewarm or chilled as a fresh, crispy salad. Ideal to take as lunch to work!

What extra toppings go well with this crispy rice salad?

Although this recipe is deliciously pure and 'Easy', you can vary it to your heart's content. Feel free to add some stir-fried shrimp, cubes of fried tofu, or roasted chicken for extra protein. A drizzle of sriracha mayonnaise or some toasted sesame seeds over the rice completes the 'crispy vibe'!
