If your rice is truly a gelatinous blob? Make congee. Add broth, ginger, and soy sauce. You’ve just invented a cozy soup. Congratulations—you’re now a survivalist chef.
Or fry it into crispy patties with an egg. Call it “rice fritters” and serve with sriracha. Nobody will know it was a mistake. You’ll look like a genius.
Remember: dried-out rice keeps in the fridge for 3 days. Or freeze it for fried rice later. Your future self will thank you.
