Storing Leftovers
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to four days. When reheating, only reheat the amount you plan on eating as leftovers should not be reheated more than once. As with all recipes, use your best discretion when it comes to leftovers. In this ham and rice recipe, we are adding in just a few simple ingredients. It makes this not only a fast recipe, but a recipe that you probably already have everything you need for. Those are my favorite kinds of dinners. But this is a great recipe to make all year. Buy a ham steak from your grocery store, cube it, and use it in place of the leftover ham listed here. That being said, if you were to use that soft warm cooked rice in fried rice recipes, you would end up with a big gooey mess. Allowing rice to cool and dry out a little makes for that perfect fried rice consistency that you are used to. If you were to thaw them before putting them in your hot dish, they would end up mushy. By putting them in a steaming hot dish at the very end, the heat of the dish thaws them just enough to keep them plump and bright green.
