What to do with leftover Rice?

So three days of Red Beans and Rice is just enough.

I still have a lot of rice leftover.  I need suggestions!

 Eggs with runny yolk, butter, a little soy sauce and some chives if you got them.

Fried rice, or freeze it and use in a soup some other day.

Put it in the freezer. Make a big pot of chili. Day two, ladel some of the chile over some reheated rice.

Grab whatever greens are in your garden. Saute onions garlic and bell peppers, plus your choice of spices. Throw in the greens until wilted. Top a plate of rice with the greens. Add whatever leftover meat you've got. Yum!

In african countries, they (we, because I'm married to an african) like to serve peanut sauce over rice. In the US we make it with almond butter, since peanuts are not good for the eyes, gut, or stress levels. You just fry your onions and garlic and protein (I use tofu) add your almond butter (about a cup), salt, herbs (it's wonderful with fresh sage), and plenty of water. The almond/peanut will thicken the sauce as it continues to cook for 30 minutes or so. I like to add my fresh greens and parsley a few minutes before it's done cooking. Or you can add cabbage/other veggies earlier in the cooking process.

you can also take that rice and mix it with whatever you like (meat, leftover chili, vegan chili, stir fried veg etc) and roll it up in leaves (cabbage, collards, grape, etc) and cook in sauce or broth, there are a bunch of variations on this. As a kid I ate stuffed cabbage this way.

In my house, though, we fry up leftover rice with whatever else needs to go, with a bit of scrambled egg and a lot of sesame seeds, and have fried rice.
