the Best Fried Rice Recipe

Fried rice is an easy recipe. It makes dinner easier and you can customise it to suit whatever you have left in your fridge. This recipe is a vegetarian version of fried rice, however, you can always add some prawns, chicken or even beef. Whatever you have on hand. Adding proteins will make this fried rice more filling and taste even better, of course.

I usually love looking for a good deal at the supermarket. Sometimes I can find those frozen mixed vegetable packs on offer and I’ll pick up a few bags. i can utilise them in this fried rice. It saves me so much time and effort and I can whip it up in around 15 minutes. Isn’t that the dream? Less work and less clean up? I’m all for that.
