No microwave? :P I know what you mean, it's hard to reheat rice without one.
I'd say make fried rice/pilau. On max heat use a genrous amount of oil, fry a bit of finely chopped onion/spring onion, add some whole spices (cloves, cinnamon/cassia, aniseed, asian bay leaf, cardamom) and add the rice. Stirfry for a few mins and then reduce the heat and let it cook through. Dont let it burn (i.e use a non-stick, iron or alimunium pan).
Adding a couple of eggs after the spices and stirfrying is good as is adding coriander at the end.
Almost as quick as using the micro.

Easy.

If you want it like boiled or pilau:

In a wok small amount of water, stir constantly at very high heat.

Fried rice, well I know you know this one CA..duhh!
