Wh do so many Asian recipes explicitly call for leftover rice?

2.06K views

I’ve recently been trying to put some new meals in my repertoire and when browsing for new ideas I’ve noticed that many recipes call for day old leftover rice instead of fresh one. Egg fried rice for example. Some people even seem to insist that it doesn’t work with fresh rice. Why is that?

Clearly it’s ‘a thing’ — nobody eats stale food by choice. In the age of covid, I’m sure more people have more older food around. Be careful When rice or pasta goes bad it decomposes without a stink, but can cause serious nasty illness.
