How do you reheat rice in a takeout box after you've already made the mistake of refrigerating it straight up?
I have refrigerated rice that I want to serve alongside chicken tikka masala (Not for guests, that's unthinkable! For family.). It's in one of those styrofoam containers with a plastic lid, although it's hard and, in present state, unappetizing all the same, so let's benefit Googlers by assuming a takeout box. There's plenty of stuff on the net on how to store it properly in the first place. How do you revive hard refrigerated rice after the fact?

Assuming it's been kept cold & is therefore 'safe', then just drop it into a larger microwave-safe dish with a not-quite-sealed lid & maybe a tablespoon of cold water.

Once it's halfway heated, you'll be able to break it up a bit to stir. When fully heated, it will break up with a fork. Your family will never know ;)
