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?

For the same reason the West has so many recipies for day old/stale bread, and why you wouldn’t make French toast with bread hot out of the oven. It’s a primary staple food, so leftovers were abundant and people didn’t want to waste. They then specifically developed recipies around the way it changed as it sat out.
