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?

Its relatively easy to mess up fried rice if you have too much moisture in the dish, turns into just a rice and vegetable pulp.
Rice thats been sitting in a fridge for a day will have significantly dried out compared to fresh rice.
If you have a rice cooker and are lazy or didn’t think ahead to make rice the day before, you can achieve similar results by stirring up and leaving the rice in the cooker for an hour or so, lid off, after its finished cooking and switched over to ‘warm’ mode. That’l dry it out well it enough.
