Fried Rice

Description

Fried rice is a flavorful and colorful dish made by stir-frying cooked rice with vegetables,
sauces, and sometimes eggs or meat. Originating from Asian cuisine, it's a quick way to turn
leftover rice into a delicious, wholesome meal. Each grain is coated with savory flavors from
soy sauce and seasonings, while veggies add crunch and freshness.
