Simple Fried Rice

Simple fried rice. Do you have a lot of leftover rice from yesterday because all the guests you depended on didn't come enough? Not sure what exactly to do with it? Then why not just make fried rice! Fried rice is a classic dish for recreating those leftovers! It's a super comfort food on those cold, chilly days, not to mention it's packed with flavor and easy to make!

This recipe for the vegetarian version is simple, but you can really add almost anything and anything to fried rice. If you only have light soy sauce at home, don't worry, black soy sauce is not that important, but it gives the fried rice a better color. You can also add chili flakes if you like your fried rice a little spicier!

Tips! It's hard to describe exactly how the rice jumps, but when it does, you'll know! The whole point of waiting to see your rice jump is to let you know it's ready. If there's no skipping, it means your rice is still a bit mushy, so the taste isn't perfect!
