I love fried rice recipes. Fried rice is a quick and tasty meal that you can make in one pan, serve in one bowl and eat with one utensil. It doesn’t get much easier than that.

I came up with this delicious fried rice recipe while looking for a fast way to get dinner on the table with ingredients I had on hand. My husband gave it two thumbs up, so this yummy lunch, side dish or dinner recipe is a keeper.
