Why is leftover or day old rice better for fried rice?

Its less mushy and wet. Day old rice kernels are dryer and will fry better to create a tastier fried rice.
Use chilled day old rice if possible.

If your rice is not a day old- Don't worry! Just simply take your cooked rice and lay it out on a baking pan evenly. Place in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Storage:

Let your fried rice cool completely before storing. Store in an air tight container in the fridge. Store for 5-7 days. Reheat in a pan or the microwave. Add in 1 tbsp of water if rice is too dry.
