This fried rice recipe is a really great way to use up either some left over rice or any extra meat or poultry you may have lurking in the fridge. I made mine with chicken but you could easily substitute any protein source of your liking.
This recipe is really easy to make and only take a few minutes to whip up. It tastes delicious while not being too salty or rich. I made mine with white rice but brown rice works well too. Enjoy!
