What's the rice-to-water ratio?

Most white rice uses a 1:2 ratio (1 cup rice to 2 cups water). Brown rice typically needs 1:2.5. Always check the package instructions as ratios can vary by rice variety.

Can I use leftover rice for fried rice?

Yes — in fact, day-old refrigerated rice is preferred for fried rice. Freshly cooked rice is too moist and will steam rather than fry in the wok.
