As demonstrated by content creator ballehurns, whose video has racked up over 781,000 views, to make this recipe you simply need to do as follows:

1. Put your leftover rice into a blender.
2. Blend the rice until it has a paste-like consistency.
3. Combine the rice paste with 1/2 cup of flour to form a soft, smooth dough.
4. Flatten the dough and use a cutter to create circular shapes.
5. Spoon your preferred filling onto each dough circle.
6. Fold each circle into a traditional gyoza shape.
7. Steam the formed gyozas for five minutes.
8. Fry them in oil for just one minute.
9. Check to ensure they’re thoroughly heated, then serve and enjoy.

It’s worth noting that cooked rice is dangerous to eat when it’s left out at room temperature. According to the NHS, spores can grow into bacteria which will multiply and may produce toxins (poisons.)

To make sure that the rice is safe to eat, cool cooked rice as quickly as possible, keep it in the fridge for no more than 1 day, and check that it’s steaming hot all the way through. Also, do not reheat the rice more than once.
