"Fried rice is a great way to use up a few leftovers while creating a tasty dinner for two. The best rice for fried rice is leftover from the day before. If you’re making rice specifically for this dish, make sure you have time to let it cool thoroughly. Feel free to substitute cooked beef, shrimp or chicken for the pork and other vegetables for the peas and mushrooms. For a vegetarian version, substitute firm tofu for the pork or add an extra egg...."
