Put leftover spinach stew with rice and celery leaves into a covered container and refrigerate it promptly rather than leaving it at room temperature. Take out only the portion you plan to eat, since cooked rice should not sit out for extended periods.
Can you reheat spinach stew with rice and celery leaves?

Do celery leaves change the flavor of spinach stew with rice?
