Am I weird for making rice specifically for fried rice? (hexbear.net)

Since the rice for fried rice has to be "old", I make a couple cups a night or two before I wanna make it and then throw that rice in the refrigerator.

My partner says this is weird because her family only made fried rice when they had too much rice leftover. But we eat a lot of rice and there's not usually any leftovers, definitely not enough for a whole batch of fried rice. I really like fried rice though.

Also why isn't there a cooking comm?

For Chinese food, ask Chinese people. American chefs don't make Chinese food, they make this weird, overly sweet breaded crap that was popular in Canton and Fukien provinces 150 years ago.

So Americans make food that was popular in China when the largest wave of Chinese immigrants came to the country? It's recipes that were created my chinese immigrants adapted to the ingredients they could get. Same with Tex-Mex and American Italian food.

Tex-Mex wasn't made by "immigrants", it was made by Texans in a mockery of Mexican cuisine. Flour tortillas instead of corn, clunky white people flavors instead of the delicate layering of Mexican interior food, and NO seafood. Marisco is delightful!West coast or east?
