Rice in the pan with...

You probably know stir-fried rice from your Asian take-out. Similar dishes are very easy to make.

Per portion:
cooked rice (from 1/2 cup of dry rice)
1 cup of vegetables
1 Tbsp. cooking oil
other ingredients to taste

This is a good way to use veggies that came in packages too large to use fully when first bought. You can, of course, also buy your favourite vegetable for it. I first encountered the recipe with leeks, for example.

While the rice is cooking, cut up the veggies in cubes or slices or rings. Whatever works best. If you have leftover meat or bacon or..., you can cut that up too.

When the rice is almost done, heat the cooking oil. Starting with anything onion-ish, then the hardest uncooked vegetable, add the vegetables one by one and stir. Last things to add are the cooked vegetables and meats. When everything is nice and browned to desire, add the rice and mix evenly.


Taste the mix and season, for example with soy sauce or an appropriate spice mix.

If the rice itself was a (intentional) leftover, continue stirring until everything is reheated.
