fao FOAK: Chinky Cooling

the "danger" in this case is that the heat from the hot food warms up
the air in the fridge to a degree that other contents are affected. I
doubt this would be a problem with rice, though I wouldn't, say, put a
hot lasagna in an earthenware dish directly into the fridge.

 

*DING*

It all depends on the quantity of rice. It can take a while to cool
and I'd imagine that sticking a kilo of rice still at ~40C into a
fridge would raise the internal temperature of said fridge
considerably.

 

sure. I wasn't thinking of nearly as much as a kilo, mind.

I guess so - other variables are the size of the fridge/how full it
is. I currently have a very small "built in" fridge in my kitchen, and
I'd be wary about putting anything much hotter than room temperature
into it. The big full-height "beer" fridge I have in the shed, I'm
less concerned about putting mildly warm things straight into it, as
it's mostly full of wine and beer.

 

I do so frequently and don't beleive the risk to be real. I also used
to frequently forget to put it in the fridge till the next morning,
without any ill effects.

Another question for Pip: What exactly is the end result supposed to
do? I mean, what's the symptoms of rice poisoning?

"Symptoms: Bacillus cereus can cause two distinct types of illness - a
diarrhoeal form (diarrhoea and abdominal pain) with an incubation
period of 8 to 16 hours..."

Oh well, I probably wouldn't notice that, as it's pretty much SOP for
my guts anyway.

"and an emetic form (primarily vomiting, possibly with diarrhoea) with
an incubation period of 1 to 5 hours."

But I've never had that.

"In both types the illness usually lasts less than 24 hours after
onset. "

So nowt to worry about at all then.

I survived on reheated egg fried rice every other day for damn near two
and a half years, when I lived in Worksop.

And it's delicious for breakfast - I made some the other week. Yum.

 

me too, and yup - yum.

Simple..

Cook rice (90% cooked), drain and allow to go cold
Heat oil in pan (with any spices that you might want)
Meanwhile - beat the egg mixture & add dash of soy sauce
Once oil is hot pour in egg mixture and stir furiously.
Once egg is mosly solid add in rice and finish cooking.
Garnish with chopped mushrooms/chicken/ham as appropriate.

The pre-cooking or the long-grain? Both are OK and the pre-cooking is
essential.

Given that it's the method that people like Ken Hom advocates I'll
carry on doing it their way..

Phil

 

No, the 'easy cook'. Read the thread.

You've snipped a lot, but I assume you're referring to the frying of
the eggs before adding the rice? That's what I said was cheating and
wrong. In which case I suggest you do what I've just done and consult
his recipe books.

I've just read no less than four recipes of his for variations of egg
fried rice, every single one of which fries the rice in a very hot wok
for five minutes or more before adding the egg (mixture) and 'continue
to stir-fry for another two minutes or until the egg is set'.

Your ball.

Ahh, so you were advocating this method. As I said in t'other post, go
back and read your Ken Hom and you'll find he doesn't do this.

And in all the ones I've found, he suggests frying the additions
first, then the rice, before adding the egg at the last stage.

Quite. Rather like frozen omelettes. In God's name, WHY!

Some people seem to be disfoodic, and incapable of the simplest
culinary tasks. I recall breakfast at Blaney's one time, where he
seemed genuinely unaware that the fact that the sausages frying on the
hob were smoking was possibly a sign that they were burning and that
the remedy to this was to turn down the heat. Wierd, I know, but it
happens.

Oh sure. Although it was nowhere near as bad as Andy's, IIRC. Quite
funny waking him up by starting[1] your bandit 12 after we'd cobbled
the tank on... with just the exhaust headers in place.

[1] Well, revving the bollocks off it was closer to the mark.
