I’ve reheated Chinese takeaway for about 10 years and never had an issue! It’s a great lunch treat the next day

@Takeawaytonight

I can't reheat the fried rice can I ?
Another fried rice reheater sometimes more than once here. Still alive.
BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 05/03/2022 15:39

I always reheat! Just make sure it's a good 4mins in the microwave

BabyTurtIe · 05/03/2022 15:40

I’ve always reheated rice. No problems.

Sleepyquest · 05/03/2022 15:42

Chilli salt chicken!

I always reheat the rice. Everyone tells me not to but I have lived Grin

Squiff70 · 05/03/2022 15:42

Why has nobody mentioned salt and pepper spare ribs yet? They're the best bit of any Chinese Grin

@SpikeDearheart Tsingtao 👌 We buy it from Tesco, 3 for £5

I’d get prawn fried rice, steamed baby kai lan or other green veg, stir fry sprouts, crispy seaweed, and char siu.

I always used to have Singapore Noodles in this scenario but I find it too spicy nowadays.

Plantsandpuddlesuits · 05/03/2022 15:49

Veggie hot and sour soup, deep fried salt and pepper tofu, fried rice, carton of curry sauce and can of diet coke. Yum!

WhatsTheEffingPoint · 05/03/2022 15:49

Chicken chow mein
Sweet and sour chicken balls
Duck with mushrooms or beef in crushed black pepper sauce
No rice but our local does do free prawn crackers 😋

Takeawaytonight · 05/03/2022 15:51

So I'm having fried rice, chicken balls, shredded chilli beef, Prawn crackers. And will be reheating leftovers for tomorrow lunch. Thank you 😊

Takeawaytonight · 05/03/2022 15:55

Thank you, a night without my dp and dc is so rare. I even have a choice of crap tv !

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 05/03/2022 15:55

Chips though. What about the chips? Also reheat beautifully and top class from our takeaway 😉

Dontfuckingsaycheese · 05/03/2022 15:56

Have you started on the new Killing Eve OP? I can’t believe it’s on and I didn’t know! I’m saving it for a treat later this evening ❤️❤️

ThatsNotMyGolem · 05/03/2022 15:57

@Livelifeinthebuslane

I'm here because I thought you were asking what the word one is in Chinese. (It's yī or —)
Same! 😂
Takeawaytonight · 05/03/2022 15:58

I have never watched any of Killing Eve? Is it that good? I was thinking of watching The Godfather, my favourite film.

MrsBerthaRochester · 05/03/2022 15:59

Chicken noodle soup.
salt and chilli chips.
Beef with cashews or beef satay.
I only get chinese once or twice a year as its so expensive compared to other takeaways.

Takeawaytonight · 05/03/2022 16:04

@MrsBerthaRochester that does sound lovely. I love your name BTW. Always thought Bertha deserved her own story. I think Mr Rochester would be described as a gaslighter on MN.

Eloise666 · 05/03/2022 16:05

Duck in plum sauce, Singapore rice noodles (or egg fried rice), crispy seaweed.
Or/and
1/4 crispy duck with double cucumber/spring onions and an extra pack of pancakes… and extra sauce tbh lol

Sunnytwobridges · 05/03/2022 16:05

Of course you can reheat fried rice, I have for 30 years with no issues.

iloveewanthedreamsheep · 05/03/2022 16:08

Chicken with ginger and spring onion is my fave. Duck pancakes a close second. With prawn cracker and sesame prawn toast. Now like many others I want Chinese…
