Baked Rice

Mrs. Erator came up with this trick for making left over rice more interesting. Leftover rice can of course quickly heated in a microwave oven ... but there's nothing fancy about the result. Alternatively, one can make fried rice ... but that requires the work of standing there stirring the rice on the pan, and often it becomes quite the sticky mess.

This is where our suggestion comes in: just spread the rice on a plate and leave in the oven at 250 C (450 F) until the rice starts to turn crisp at the edges. Here, we did it with these sesame rice, but I think any kind of leftover rice could be warmed this way to give a nice crunchy result.
