We use like thin long grain basmati rice and that can be refridigiated and kept in there forup to 3days (although its usualy all finished by the 3rd day) before it goes bad. When rice goes bad it physically goes bad so its easy to tell.

I've heard that reheating rice can cause food poisoning. Is this true?
It is perhaps over cautious but it repeats what I have read before, infact it was only the other day I read about it in the paper.
not if you dine in the right restaurants...data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 theres only a couple in the whole of Birmingham that make 'fresh' dim sum properly (mainly the dumplings).... they have dedicated 'dim-sum' chefs employed to make the dumplings etc at 4am for lunch the next day... FRESH on the day and you really need to dine with native speakers (preferably if they know the owners toodata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) to realise that the menu is also very different to what an average diner would get....
frozen dim sum is available that can be steamed but its chalk and cheese.... the very best possibly available from chinese supermarkets or cash and carry's... and iv just spoken to one my friends who's mother owns a very successful restaurant here and its crazy to even suggest dim sum can be frozen afterwards.... the pastry is very very delicate.... its frozen on production for sale afterwards like previously discussed...
iv also been to a restaurant that serves food stuff frozen, from tiger prawns to baby squid to beef tripedata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 and loads of other unrecognisable stuff...that is presented on a platter with 2 bowls of boiling soup (spicy and normal) that require the diners to cook themselves.... again, not available to people unless they can read the menu (in mandarindata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) and i would never consider freezing any of thatdata:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Never more than one night in the pan mate, if there is any left after that its in the fridge. Even i know the boundries. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I'd happily eat rice/noodles allday everyday. If it comes with something spicy, great. Hot or cold, doesn't bother me. I normally have a couple of spoonfuls before it goes in the microwave as I can't wait. data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
Cold chinese salt/pepper/chilli ribs straight out of the fridge the moprning after, Mmmmmmmmmmm lovely..scoop up those juices with bits of garlic, onion & chilli in them..........God I'm hungry
Always wondered. What is a typical Indian Breakfast ?
chapati stuffed with spicy potato served with fresh yoghurt, butter and cottage cheese..... yummy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
chapati with spicy potato filling (indian)
Some have omlette etc I think data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
It's probably regional again to what they eat
My Indian neighbours eat rice crispies, I always see a box in the recycling tub data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
When I stay at my folks its either museli, bacon sandwiches, omlettes, eggy bread, brioche, hot cross buns or a good old fry up! Not that they're at all 'westernised' data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I still prefer paratha tho, had some only yesterday with a bit of pickle and plain yogurt data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
I do exactly the same, I quite often make batches of curry or sometimes just the sauce and leave it out covered over night.Some gets eaten the next day and the rest goes in the freezer, I've never had a problem with it data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
