Egg Fried Rice Recipe
Making fried rice at home is one of my favorite things to do! It’s so easy but you have to prep the rice ahead of time. I like to make it the day before to guarantee that it’ll be dried out otherwise it’ll turn mushy when you make it.
Make your life easier and buy a bag of frozen carrots and peas to add to it!
So delicious! The whole family loves it!
