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

2.02K 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?

Freshly cooked hot moist rice doesn’t fry well at all, it’s far better to use yesterday’s rice to fry. Try it yourself and you’ll recognize the difference immediately.
