So my wife wants me to make her a bento to take to work for lunch, how do I stop her from getting food poisoning from the rice?

>> No.3857714

Should I chill the rice before packing it or something?
I've been told since I was a kid that you shouldn't let rice stay warm.

> you shouldn't let rice stay warm
Yes, and this is the sweeping plague that only affects Asians with rice cookers that keep the rice warm for them.

Just get like a big sack of brown rice.
Pour it into, like, a pot.
Drop some water in there.
Turn on the stove.
Wait till it's done.
Then put it in the fridge.
Scoop the rice into the bento boxes as needed over the following week.

Leave the rice out to cool to room temperature. Warm rice are fine. However, warm rice in an airtight container for extended period of time is not.

Tell your wife to stop pretending that asians aren't retarded.

I wouldn't recommend brown rice as that goes bad faster than white. I usually eat rice that I've left in the cooker over night over two days max which is fine.

Thanks for the tips. Didn't expect this thread to get bumped with anything helpful so thanks again.

I expected this, my wife is Japanese but she can't cook for shit. She's an engineer and works long hours, I'm a tutor so my working day typically doesn't start until the afternoon so I take care of the housework and the cooking. She brings home decent money, the sex is good and I love her so I'm not complaining.

Say what? I have a relatively sensitive stomach and I've left rice out for a long ass time and eaten it hundreds of times without problem.

How about you stop being pretentious and tell your wife to pick it up from the family mart or 7/11 like every other working Japanese or do you not have a Japanese wife and youre just a pretentious weeaboo trying to look cool in the high school cafeteria?

I leave warm rice in my cooker for days.
I've never gotten sick from it.

Sushi is peasant fisherman food. They ate raw fish, because that's what they had on hand. They ate it with vinegared rice because the vinegar kept it from spoiling while they were out fishing. Just put some vinegar on the rice.

>> No.3860793

>>3860132
A little vinegar in the rice should be good.
You can get fancy and use brown rice vinegar or something else that compliments the rest of the bento.
I also like to add a little soysauce and sesameseed/oil to it as well.

is this some kind of unfunny food meme like chicken and jalapenos?

>> No.3861698

do not put rice in the fridge overnight it will dry outcompletely. if you don't have a rice cooker that will keep it warm overnight (whoever told you not to keep rice warm is a fucking potato), put it in the freezer and microwave it in the morning.
