FriedRiceAin'tNice: Depends on what you mean. But one common problem is rice that has sat around at or near room temperature for a long time, like fried rice at a buffet. It's probably because the rice wasn't cooked long enough at boiling temperature. Some spores survive then begin to grow then make a chemical that makes us sick. The symptoms start pretty quickly. Other improper cooking usually involves cleanliness
