According to many, the best fried rice is made with cooked refrigerated rice. Also, there's this excerpt in the article "Chilling the rice then helps foster the conversion of starches. The result is a healthier serving, even when you heat it back up."
- pbreit 12y agoIs it OK to heat it back up? Still not convinced that turning a 30 minute process into a 12 hour one is "simple".
- wukerplank 12y agoI think it's simple as in: You don't need a lab to reproduce the results.
- DanBC 12y agoRice was the most common form of food poisoning in the UK for a while. Cooling the rice takes it through bacteria reproduction temperature; as does reheating the rice. The bacteria don't cause the poisoning though, so killing them doesn't help. The bacteria release a toxin and that isn't destroyed by heating. So, if people are going to try this they need to cool the rice down as quickly as possible; keep it cold; and then properly reheat it. http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/can-reheating-rice-cause-food-poisoning.aspx?CategoryID=51 http://www.nhs.uk/chq/Pages/can-reheating-rice-cause-food-po...

- pbreit 12y agoI get that sort of but I'm not sure the opposite of simple is complicated.
