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

No, it depends on luck.

If you're hit with bacillus cereus poisoning you'll know about it.

Not the rice https://www.food.gov.uk/safety-hygiene/home-food-fact-checker The rest I'd reheat thoroughly as long as it's been in the fridge

We reheat and eat takeaways up to 2 days later, similar if we've made too much rice in rice cooker ourselves. It goes in a tub and gets reheated and eaten later in the week.

Always reheated rice, in fact had 2 day old Chinese for tea last night, bloody gorgeous, the flavours seem to be better in leftovers.

I heat up special fried rice with sweet and sour chicken sometimes always been fine.

You're not supposed to reheat rice

Said no Chinese person ever. Asian people reheat rice all the time.

If you've ever ordered/eaten fried rice then you've eaten reheated rice. Fact.

And ready meals contain cooked rice which you re-heat...

Yes I do wonder what the crossover is between people who think you can’t reheat rice, and people who buy precooked rice in microwaveable pouches…
