So, you've finally mastered how to cook rice with the perfect rice-to-water ratio. Congrats! (It is truly a low-key feat). Any cook like Ree Drummond knows that starches provide the base to some of the most flavorful dishes, and rice is no exception. Still, it doesn't matter if you're using the best rice cooker in the world or kicking it old-school on the stovetop—even the most seasoned cooks can be left with a boatload of leftover rice. (Oops.)

So if you're wondering what to do, luckily, there are tons of delicious leftover rice recipes! What you need to remember is how long rice lasts before it goes bad; the good news is that refrigerated rice lasts about a week and then all you need to learn is the right way to reheat rice. After that, it's time to get cooking! Weeknight meal plans always benefit from a few easy rice recipes because the grain is filling yet satisfying paired with sautéed veggies or tender meat. (Think Ree's bacon-wrapped scallops, a batch of stuffed peppers, or a savory stir-fry.) Also, it's worth knowing that fried rice is actually better when you use rice that has sat in the fridge overnight, as it gets crispier than fresh rice. So no matter how much leftover rice you have on hand, there's always a recipe to use it!
