Top hack for reheating rice in the microwave without drying it out
Reheating rice as a side dish for, for example, delicious sticky salmon with honey and garlic can be done in the blink of an eye. Especially if you have a microwave, of course; otherwise, you still have to get to work with a steamer. And when you use that microwave, there are several ways to ensure that the rice becomes beautifully fluffy and soft again. You may not know this one yet:
Of course, there are all kinds of tools and accessories for the microwave too, but you need very little for this trick to reheat rice steaming hot yet light and fluffy.
TikTok to the rescue
It is yet another trick shared on TikTok. There you will find a range of kitchen hacks, some more useful than others, and judging by the many responses the videos receive, people are absolutely delighted whenever a simple yet effective tip is shared.
Ice, ice, baby
Like this tip for reheating rice: place an ice cube on top of the rice, which you put uncovered on a plate in the microwave.
