I absolutely love fried rice. It is one of my favorite dishes to indulge in and I have learned to make it at home with healthier ingredients and less sodium. It is delicious on its own or as a side dish to any asian inspired protein dish.
This fried rice is a fantastic way of not letting any veggie left behind in the back of your fridge. Use up all the bright, green and crunchy veggies you love and make fried rice a delicious healthy option for lunch.
