Marcella Rose here. Now if you are like me, you’re constantly trying to save money and what a better way to save than to use those leftovers! It’s always a shame to throw away perfectly good food, am I right? Now I don’t just like to warm up a leftover, though I have been known to do so, but where is the imagination in that?! What I love is taking a leftover and making something extraordinary with it; something that makes the family run to the table.
So today I want to share with you an easy and quick recipe that will use your leftover white rice in a flash and with some panache! I mean we all order take out and it seems that with every dish comes the ubiquitous box of white rice. You may eat a scoop, but I have never once used up all the rice. Sometimes I make a rice pudding (I will share that recipe with you next time!) but most times I make fried rice.
What I love about fried rice is that your can serve it for every meal! If I serve it in the morning I like to baste an egg and place it on top; the gooey, runny yolk makes for a great sauce on the rice and really puts it over the top for the first meal of the day. Serve this at a brunch and your guests will be stunned and love every bit of it.
