I love fried rice because it is so versatile. You can pretty much add whatever you want and you’ll have a delicious all in one meal that is perfect for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This is a very basic fried rice but you can substitute the meat with another protein and the peas with another vegetable. The options are endless!
