How long does Chinese food keep for in the fridge (fried rice and Mongolian beef)?

I bought myself some chinese food on tuesday, and I’m kinda hungry, can I still eat it or should I toss it?

Rule of thumb…3days for left overs. If you got it on Monday..You got till Thurs. to eat it…On Friday..Chuck it out.

  1. I usually give leftovers 2 days.
    Smell it and look at it. You’re right at the 2 day mark so you should be okay.

  3. I would think its fine for several days,Chinese food has so much salt that I think it must act like a preservative.

  4. It should still be fine. Go ahead and nuke it in the microwave. I’ve reheated Chinese food after 4 days as long as it’s been in the fridge in reasonable containers. Most take out boxes are fine.

  5. If it’s wrapped well than a week – 10 days.
