Fried Rice and Vegetables

Use up all your leftovers and make a delicious weeknight meal with fried rice and vegetables. Substitute carrots, celery, or whatever you have on hand for the mushrooms. If you’d like to add a protein, then look for chicken, shrimp, pork, or even tofu! If you make a big vat of long grain rice on Sunday, this becomes a meal that’s easy to whip up on any busy weeknight with the contents of your refrigerator. Just keep eggs, garlic powder, and soy sauce on hand for a tasty, filling dinner of fried rice and vegetables.
