Since the rice for fried rice has to be “old”, I make a couple cups a night or two before I wanna make it and then throw that rice in the refrigerator.
My partner says this is weird because her family only made fried rice when they had too much rice leftover. But we eat a lot of rice and there’s not usually any leftovers, definitely not enough for a whole batch of fried rice. I really like fried rice though.
Also why isn’t there a cooking comm?
I’ve done that before! You can cook the rice the same day, mainly I think you just wanna let it cool down and ‘dry’ a little so it doesn’t steam when you fry it.
