Rice dishes need to be heated up properly, or you could possibly run the risk of food poisoning. Bacillus cereus, a bacterium that can cause food poisoning can survive in cooked rice, so to ensure that the bacterium is fully destroyed, reheat the rice properly.
I am not a big fan of the microwave, but it is an easy way to go about reheating jambalaya. You need to keep in mind that if you have shrimp in the rice, it may come out rubbery. To reheat jambalaya in the microwave, place it in a microwave-safe bowl and cover the rice with a damp paper towel. This provides moisture. Once done, allow it to stand for a minute before serving to allow the heat to distribute evenly.
But you will compromise the texture of the jambalaya. The taste can also be a little flat. Microwave reheating is by far the quickest and easiest method for warming up leftover jambalaya. It can quickly turn jambalaya cloggy and gummy. Also, any seafood components take a real knock and turn quite rubbery although you can always take any seafood out before reheating the dish. I would proceed with caution when it comes to timing and heat for 30 seconds first, then check and see if this dish needs any more heating.
The water adds moisture, and the plastic wrap will trap it. My jambalaya came out okay, but it was a lot more stodgy than the previous day, and the tastes were muted. To reheat jambalaya using the steaming method, begin by placing your leftovers in a sieve. Bring a pot of water to boiling point and rest the sieve over the steam that it creates.
Cover the sieve to trap the moisture and heat the jambalaya for minutes. The steamer is a good way to moisten up dry jambalaya. Although this is not necessarily the quickest or most accessible method for reheating jambalaya, it consistently produces good results and adds moisture to dryer leftovers. Make sure to keep an eye on your food to ensure it does not become gummy and overcooked. The jambalaya that came out of the steamer was moist and fluffy.
If you like your paella a little on the wetter side, I recommend this method. To store leftover jambalaya, keep it in a sealed container in the fridge and eat it within 3 to 4 days.
Alternatively, you can store it in the freezer for up to 6 months in a suitable container or vacuum-sealed bag. If you have any seafood shells in the dish, remove these before storing it. You can freeze leftover jambalaya for later use in an airtight freezer-safe container or a freezer bag with as much air removed from it as possible. Wait for the jambalaya to cool to room temperature before freezing it. Jambalaya will last up to 6 months in the freezer.
To remove the air from a freezer bag, you can squeeze it out or use a straw to suck it out. Spicy Meal Prep is a food blog and resource for busy people and home cooks around the world.
