Fried Rice
If I have leftover rice, this is my go-to. It’s so easy to make and even easier to customize!Want to take it up a notch? Fry up a pork chop and slice it on top; it looks downright gourmet. Or keep it simple and use whatever protein you have on hand. Either way, it’s quick, easy, and always delicious.
