Anyone eat/enjoy cold chicken stirfry ?

[Alex321]

I had to defrost then cook the chicken one day then reheat it with the stirfry next day.
There is a portion left but (correct me if im wrong) I dont think it would be safe to reheat it yet again.
Its been in the fridge, in a sealed box overnight but the thought of cold, cooked stirfry doesn't excite me.
So.........does anyone eat theirs when cold ?

I normally just reheat it again. Never had any issue with upset stomach afterwards.

Though TBH, that doesn't very often happen with home made stir fry, because I only tend to make enough for that meal, any excvess chicken will be left on the carcass for use the next day (or later).

But if we have a takeaway, portions are almost always bigger than we need, and I'll be reheating some in the microwave for lunch teh following day.

Many years ago at a previous employer Friday night was curry night, one colleague would order the hottest, spiciest curry on offer, but always leave some curry sauce with a bit of the meat in the foil box, along with a chapati to fester in his locker overnight, then eat it for breakfast on the Saturday morning overtime shift we did

When we buy a Chinese takeaway, there's always loads left.

Keep the leftovers in the fridge, only ever reheat the qty you're going to eat, bingo: one order gives a meal for 3 days.

Never had a problem, and have been doing this for years.

There are some very firm rules about food hygiene, which I guess if released publicly have to be very harsh and almost represent worst case scenario. If you've cooked from scratch then you know what's what, but from a takeaway you never really know how many times it's been defrosted/reheated before. That being said, as long as I nuke takeaway until piping hot, that's good enough for me.

It's like rice. When I was backpacking in Australia, a load of korean travellers would do a full rice cooker full of rice, let it go cold and then just leave it on the worktop until all the rice had gone. That was sometimes 3 or 4 days, and we're talking outside temperatures of around 32C, so probably at least 20 indoors. I would often be given some of said rice to take out into the fields when I had no lunch, and I never felt any ill effects. Though I guess it may have been different if the rice had been re-heated and cooled again
