Here is a quick and delicious dinner idea that's ideal for using up any leftovers you have in the fridge. I love fried rice, because you can pretty much use any combination of ingredients that you're in the mood for, and it'll turn out great! You may also use any type of rice (as you can see in the pictures, instead of plain white rice, I used Indian basmati rice, since that's what I needed to use up), but just remember-- the key to good fried rice is to use rice that's at least a day old. If you use fresh rice, it will be too wet (think of all the water you put in the rice cooker!), and it will not turn into fried rice. I adapted this recipe from the incredibly talented Chef David Chang, the mastermind behind the Momofuku restaurants, and chose to also add cheese to it, but feel free to substitute with any ingredients of your choice. Another key to good fried rice is to keep the heat on high and to cook the ingredients in batches!
