IMO, fried rice is not really an ideal health food because

1) It's mostly fried with vege oil (unless lard/palm/virgin coconut is used ) and vege oil (unsaturated fatty acid) goes bad easily on heat.

2) I dont know what kind of rice you're using for frying , but i guess it's probably polished white rice. Then this is an issue because the milling process that strip off the bran layer has also partially removed many of the key nutrients (minerals, vitamin and Fiber ).

For ppl who consume fried white rice regularly, I can only foresee potential weight problem sooner or later.

My preferred choice is Brown rice (steam)
