Leftover rice cooked with vegetables, eggs, and/or meats make for an amazing lunch or dinner recipe the next day. And - day old rice is the perfect texture for making crispy fried rice.
Bring a large non stick pan to medium heat and add a little oil or butter. Scramble an egg with a little salt and pepper, cook it, and set aside.
Bring the same pan to medium high heat and add a little safflower or peanut oil. Throw in some onions, cook ~ 2-3 minutes and add a little garlic. Cook 1-2 minutes or until fragrant. Add any vegetables or cooked meats you've got. Frozen peas or edamame are great to have on hand - they are versatile and non-perishable in the freezer.
Toss in some nuts: sliced almonds, cashews, peanuts, etc....
Add flavoring! Soy Sauce, Sriracha, Chili Powder, Coriander, a touch of Lime or Lemon Juice or Brown Rice Vinegar. Salt and pepper to taste.
