Leftover Fried Rice

Serves 1

An easy lunch that you can whip up in minutes. The trick to good fried rice is using leftover rather than freshly cooked rice. Not only is it quicker but it stops the dish from turning mushy. Use whatever vegetables you have in the house and add some protein such as tofu, a fried egg or cooked chicken if you like.
