Prawn question pls?

[lobs211]

Ok so the kids talked me into making fried rice with prawns no less...

So i got prawns from the deli at the supermarket and cooked em and put em with the rice.

2 outta 4 decided they didnt want any (LMAO)  so me, baby boomber and one son munched on - not bad LOL'

My questions is tho - how long do prawns last in fried rice once cooked and put in fridge??

I dont wanna make anyone sick!!

Just asked Cheffy O/H & he said no more than 3 days. His favourite saying is "When in doubt, throw them out". He's been a Chef for some 40 years, so I trust his judgement implicitly. 

[**meep**]

yes, definitely no longer than 3 days. 

[**meep**]

now i really feel like fried rice with prawns.

You also need to be careful with reheating cooked rice.

Usually when I make fried rice with prawns I will have any left overs cold the next day only and not reheat it.

the question implies you've never stored cooked food or seafood in the past.

LOL the question implying that would be right! we dont eat seafood unless its straight outta the water and theres never anything left to store!

I NEVER buy seafood, this is very unusual as u can see by 2 refusing to even try it - ha ha

Thanks peeps 3 days it is, Joono I had no idea that u dont reheat it - so thanks for that 🙂

Cheers

pop the leftovers in a container and freeze them in portions... 

That way they last longer.

I only keep them for one night then they're out.
