How can I reheat Chinese food at home?

Firstly it is not good to reheat rice, as it is risky bacterially.

Secondly, although Microwave is the best way to reheat it you can only really use it if you are talking of boiled rice & not fried rice.

Howver, if you are determined to buy your food in this way then I suggest the following....

1] Ensure any boiled rice is bought in a separate container.

2] Only reheat in microwavbable plastic

3] On reheating stir up the rice THEN add a little extra water to the container

4] Close the lid to keep the moisture in

Serve and eat promptly as it will dry out quickly. Though you can offset that a little if you add some juices from say.... Beansprouts. Apart from adding to the flavours, these can up the moisture level so the overall taste remains palatable.

Additionally remember to drink more while eating food that is dryer than it normally is, as it is too easy to dehydrate and end up with constipation.

Reheating Chinese Takeaway

It sounds like you are overheating it, what wattage is your microwave and how long do you put it in for? I have a 900wt microwave and normally about 1 1/2 - 2 mins is more then long enough to reheat the rice.

Try sprinkling a little bit of water over the rice first before you reheat it as this will help it stop drying out.

Your food should be piping hot, but not cremated when you reheat it ;)

For me, and maybe it's just because I'm a post-college guy, chinese food and pizza, for that matter, lasts for about 1 week if kept in the refrigerator. I usually eat it cold (mmmm) but it is perfectly fine heated up again, just make sure to nuke it until it's really hot!!

WHAT?! Cold Chinese food is D-E-V-I-N-E! I usually put mine in the fridge or freezer to cool before I eat it. What a waste to reheat it. Plus, when it is cold, all the fat solidifies so it doesn't taste as oily. MMMmmmm....cold Chinese food!

just put some sort of cover on it while reheating and it will hold the moisture in..

Water when you put it in he microwave... Or just order 1 takeaway

What you need is a steamer such as a double-boiler.

If you only have a micro-wave, sprinkle some water on it.

Nuke on medium-high in bursts and stir between them.
