There are as many varieties of fried rice as there are ingredients. Fried rice commonly contains eggs, vegetables, and/or meat, and is usually stir-fried in a wok. The recipe below is a very simple version and is a great way to use up leftover rice. Leftover rice has less moisture, making it better for frying. Adding vegetables and cooked meats or tofu turns this basic side dish into a complete meal.
