Fried rice（炒饭） is a popular Asian cuisine. It is made from rice stir fried in a wok with other ingredients such as eggs, vegetables and some kinds of meat. Fried rice is not one single dish. The use of leftover rice and other leftover ingredients is common when cooked at home. It is more of a way of combining leftover rice with leftover anything else and turning it into a one-dish meal. Fried rice can be a quick and easy meal if you are hungry and want to cook something to eat. Because you can just grab any ingredients you can find in your fridge and start cooking.
