I got beef and mushrooms and egg fried rice on Wednesday. It'll be OK if I heat it thoroughly tonight won't it?

You're not supposed to reheat rice

How do you think fried rice is made?

Milodon · 28/02/2025 19:43

It wouldn’t have even crossed my mind not to. Leftovers are generally fine for at least 3 days. As long as you heat it properly it will be fine. I might do the rice in a frying pan rather than microwave for texture reasons.

eww no

oviraptor21 · 28/02/2025 19:41

I do it all the time.

NonPlayerExtra · 28/02/2025 19:40

I would. Heat it through properly.

Depends how much of a fan you are of your bathroom decor...

No. I personally would definitely not reheat the egg fried rice (not even the next day!) I might risk the beef it smelt ok but probably not.

Seeline · 28/02/2025 19:40

I wouldn't risk the rice - it will already have been reheated at least once.
If you cooked the beef quickly and put it straight in the fridge, I'd be tempted.

Whataninterestinglookingpotato · 28/02/2025 19:40

I would. But I wouldn’t want to advise someone else to do it and be responsible for them getting ill. But I’d take the risk for myself. 😂

BananaBubbless · 28/02/2025 19:38

No I wouldn’t.
