If it were plain rice and had dried out in the fridge, I would still throw it out but it might not be bad, as long as the water vaporized out and didn't sit in the container. But fried rice, no question, throw it out. At the least there's oil in it that would go bad.
Rice lasts a lot shorter than you (or my roommate) thinks it does. That shit is disgusting. He would leave it out on the counter for days and then eat it.

Yeah this stuff. But no idea what it is called in English :lol
Total aside, but heres some cool nerdy historical linguistics info. The word that leek comes from is an ancient Proto-Indo-European root for those stinky bulbs that we eat. Its the same root that is in the word garlic, or Russian "luk" or "lukovitsa" [onion], German "Lauch" [leek], Latvian "kiploki" [garlic] etc.
Here in Holland (old) people eat that shit like there's no tomorrow. Personally I don't like it cooked, but cut up and fried with the rice it is good.
Besides that the delicious sauce for a meal called 'besengek' (also Indonesian dish) is based on leek and onions (mixed with 10 kind of herbs, garlick, chilli peppers)
So I am using leek in my fried rice. (Spring onion also btw)
Saying "I don't cook" is like saying "I don't dress myself". It's a basic life skill and it's embarrassing if you're out of primary school and can't cook at all. You don't need to be a gourmet chef, but if you can't prepare a basic meal for yourself you are not a functioning adult.
