refrying
Second time frying
Refrying is cooking something again by frying, most commonly associated with refried beans—though despite the name, those are typically fried only once.
The prefix suggests repetition: She's refrying the leftover fish for lunch.
The word appears occasionally in figurative contexts meaning to rehash or rework something already done.
