Never microwave a frozen block of rice. It will be hot on the outside and a frozen ice core on the inside.
Your best friend? The microwave at 50% power. Add a damp paper towel on top.
For fried rice, use a hot wok. Dump the frozen rice in with a splash of soy sauce. The high heat will evaporate the ice instantly. Your fried rice will taste better than the original takeout.
The Breakfast Miracle
Freeze some rice just for breakfast. No, seriously.
