Homemade egg fried rice recipe
Making egg fried rice is a good way to use up leftover white rice, vegetables, and any type of meat. To have this today, I even purposefully made extra white rice last night. It contains protein from the eggs and fiber from the vegetables, which when paired with the grains high in carbohydrates makes for a filling meal!
This is one of my go-to dishes for our typical menu rotation because it is a dish that is both highly adaptable and reasonably priced. It complements nearly every main dish. In fact, I could eat it all by itself. This is modeled after the teppanyaki prepared by the hibachi chef, if you’ve ever eaten there. Don’t forget to make some yum yum sauce to go with it!
