I fell in love with fried rice on my two year stint in Japan with the U.S. Air Force. Unfortunately I’ve never been able to make it at home very well. That is until I came across this very easy fried rice recipe. When I say “easy”, I mean EASY.
The big secret is that you must use leftover rice!
The recipe lends itself to other leftovers too. That makes it family friendly in my book. Disguising leftovers to look like something else. Fried rice is perfect for that.
Serve Nice ‘N Easy Egg Rolls with it and you’ve got a complete oriental meal.
Pass extra soy sauce and be sure to have mustard sauce for the egg rolls!
