easy fried rice
(5 ratings)
Turn leftovers into a meal! Perfect for using up leftover rice. You can also use leftover chicken (or rotisserie chicken), pork or beef. It's perfect if you had Chinese food and don't know what to do with all the rice that is left over. I prefer brown rice, which is listed in the recipe, but you can use white. Note: It is important to use chilled rice. If you use warm/hot rice, the result will be mushy.
