That's what I was taught. OTOH, I have made fried rice from rice fresh off the boil - it was still damn good. It was also easier to fry up because the grains didn't stick together. When I do this, I'll use slightly less water.. The reality is that it pretty much doesn't matter. If I had a restaurant, I'd be using fresh rice to make fried rice - not old rice.
