Fried rice is a really simple preparation, and makes for good leftovers.
Heat a little oil in a wok or frying pan. Pour in a can of peas, carrots, or some chopped onions. Throw in a bunch of day old rice. (If it's just cooked, it's too sticky.) Douse with soy sauce. Toss the rice and fry it a bit. Crack in a bunch of eggs. Toss the rice some more. Maybe throw in some chopped bacon, or chopped cooked chicken.
This is really simple, and also a tasty one-dish meal that makes for great leftovers.
[Aside: Last week, I made a batch with 6 cups of brown rice, 6 eggs, and 1 lb of bacon. My friend came over, and while I napped for a few hours, she literally ate the entire batch of fried rice. I have no idea how a 120 lb woman was capable of this, but at least it shows the recipe is tasty!]

- joelhooks 15y agoI'd recommend frozen veg over canned. I also make a little "well" in the middle of the wok for the egg to get it cooked up a bit before mixing with the rice. Otherwise it can get a bit mushy/gooey.
