Easy Fried-Rice
Fried Rice is so delicious and so easy to make. It’s also a great meal to pack heaps of veggies in to.
This is my vegetarian version but feel free to add the protein of your choice or omit the egg for vegan-style.
It’s a definite family favorite in our house! Even my little ones love it.
