Vegetable Fried Rice

an easy recipe for using up leftover cooked rice

The real reason I love fried rice is because it's a quick, easy meal. While most people think of it as a side dish, I'm happy to sit down with a bowl and call dinner done. It's got veggies, eggs and if you want to make it even more filling, then go ahead and add some chopped up roast pork or leftover rotisserie chicken. And while I consider a wok indispensable—it was the first piece of cookware I ever bought when I was 15 years old, you can also make this recipe in a large nonstick skillet.
