Stired rice needs to be at home (9)
I believe the answer is:
residence
'at home' is the definition.
'residence' can be an answer for 'home' (I've seen this in another clue). I'm unsure of the 'at' bit.
'stired rice needs' is the wordplay.
'stired' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'stir' mean this).
'rice'+'needs'='riceneeds'
'riceneeds' with letters rearranged gives 'RESIDENCE'.
'to be' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for residence that I've seen before include "flat, say" , "Place or house where one lives" , "The White House" , "Dire scene (anag.)" , "Dwelling place" .)
