Keep rice in the fridge for no more than 1 day until reheating. When you reheat rice, always check that it's steaming hot all the way through. Do not reheat rice more than once.
It's not about food spoiling. It's about multiplying bacterial spores that have survived the cooking process.
That link doesn't focus on rice specifically. And the FDA doesn't have a great reputation. I'd rather trust a source with an active interest in illness prevention.
My wife has been telling me this and I find it really upsetting. Like what am I supposed to use for stir-fry? Good, damn... fresh? steaming rice?? 🤢
Yeah. You need rice that has lost all it's steam vapour.
Good news. You can freeze rice for up to 6 months. Just portion it and let the water escape before freezing.
