My good friend Alex owns my favourite Chinese restaurant in Geelong and he taught me that 2–3 day old steamed rice works best in stir fries. So when you get a few spare minutes, grab the rice cooker out of the cupboard and steam up some rice. Let the rice cool down before popping it in an airtight container and then into the fridge so that it’s ready to go when you need.

Heat a cup of steamed rice in the microwave till it’s scorching hot, about 90 seconds should do it.
Add it to the base of the thermoses and then add the stir-fry. Remember to pour in the sauce that’s left in the wok or pan as the rice will absorb it all. Pop on the thermos lid.
