Question: Is there a way to heat up Chinese food so that it doesn't taste like an old rubber tire!?
Answers:
I keep my leftover in a seal container!.!.!.Then I put them on the microwave to heat up!. ( 2 minutes) Just make sure to crack the lid open a little bit!.
Add up some soy sauce on the heating process!.!.!.!.Enjoy
If it taste like a rubber tire, is either your chinesse place is cooking with rubber tires or your microwave needs cleaning!. LOLWww@FoodAQ@Com

Most Chinese (middle-class in major China cities, and Chinese community overseas) finish their food; remnants are discarded, never kept for human consumption!. Not that it will go bad but they prefer to enjoy their food hot off the wok!.

Re-heating Chinese food is a major bummer - looks awful, little nutrition value, just a tummy filler!. BUT there is a Chinese dish that combines yesterday's cooked remnants - such as roast pork, roast pork trotters, roast duck pieces - with fresh Chinese green mustard vegetables (gai-choy), whole dried chillies, ginger, tamarind and others to come up a remarkably delicious stew-like concoction that's chilly-hot & sour - great with plain white rice!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Put a little water in a frying pan & bring to a boil!.
Add rice dishes & heat until water is absorbed!.
Put 2 tbsp of oil in frying pan, add sliced onion/peppers!.
When softened, add chinese vegetables & some water!.
Or place veggies in steamer over some boiling water!.
Same with meat dishes, add water, heat sauce & then meat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Trick from an Old chinese lady that we get our food from- if you make a plate and put it in the microwave to heat it up- put a moist paper towel over the top of it and it comes out nice!. How do I know- we do it all the time to keep our rice from drying out along with the noodles!. Works like a charm!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

The rice you can warm in the microwave covered(microwave cover or paper towel) with a touch of water(make sure you don't over warm it)!. The things like wantons, egg rolls, spring rolls etc!.; you can heat in your oven/toaster oven it gets nice in crispy!. That's the way I do it when I really want my leftover takeout to taste like when I got it!.:)Yummy!.:)Www@FoodAQ@Com

depending on if there is rice or not, low wattage (around 30%) works best for me

keep the rice seperate and add just a teaspoon of water reheat in MicroWww@FoodAQ@Com

I usually heat it in a pan the microwave seams to give it that rubbery texture!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Add some water, put a little salt/soy sauce, then heat it in a sauce pan, small fire!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
