This fried rice recipe is deliciously flavorful, super hearty and perfectly filling, and incredibly easy to make! And it’s just as good as what you find at restaurants. Plus it’s easy to switch up and use other vegetables or meats you like. I love that it uses ingredients I usually have stocked, and for the few you may not it’s pretty easy to find a replacement.
