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

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?

Fried rice is a leftovers meal, which benefits from the rice being somewhat dehydrated.

Which other dishes call for leftover rice, of the *so many* you are thinking of?
