Re: What to do with leftover brown rice?
This issue came up quite a while back on the forum and at that time, it was new to me, but good to know. Rice freezes well.

Re: What to do with leftover brown rice?
Thanks for all your ideas and yes rice can be a problem if not refrigerated properly. Coh I have been reheating rice all my life and never had a problem either and the chinese say that rice cooked the day before makes the best fried rice.
I didn't actually end up using the rice myself my neighbour across the road was having a working bee and was short on food to feed the hungry workers so she turned it into a roast vegetable, brown rice, spinach and chickpea salad with a tahini dressing but I am definitely making dirty rice with my next lot of left over rice. ![]()

Stuff capsicum or tomatoes, Sheryl.
Read an article from NSW Health last year that said most common form of food poisoning from "take aways/takeouts" was from rice-based foods. Walk through the food courts at the malls here at 4pm and you can understand why with their bain Marie's and leftover sushi sitting there all day.

Re: What to do with leftover brown rice?
there is a reasonable amount of food poisioning cases here in the uk that are also put down to rice as well Maree ,
things like rice salads have caused large food poisining out breaks at times .
Food poisioning from fried rice from a takeaway .. well I have been a victim of that in the past .
