We love an easy dinner, members. Plus, this one is all kinds of budget-friendly. The absolute best thing about this recipe though is that every ingredient can technically be swapped for a replacement (so no last-minute rushing to the shops)!

Ingredients
2 1/2 cups long-grain white rice (can substitute for any rice, just amend cooking times)
1 tbsp peanut oil (any oil you have on hand is okay)
1 brown onion, diced
2 garlic cloves, crushed or minced
4 cups vegetables, chopped (anything you have on hand; a frozen pre-cut stir fry mix works too)
2 cups leftover chicken, cooked and sliced (swap for any meat you have on hand or leave it meat-free)
2 eggs
2 tbsp soy sauce
1 tbsp brown sugar

Rice
Cook rice following packet directions.
Drain.
Set aside.

Fried rice
Heat a wok or large pan over medium-high heat.
Add oil.
Swirl to coat.
Add onion. Stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until starting to brown.
Add garlic. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Add vegetables. Stir-fry for 4 minutes or until tender (longer if cooking from frozen).
Clear some space and add the eggs, cook to omelette consistency.
Add meat (should be precooked) and rice. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes or until heated through, stir everything together.
Add combined soy and sugar. Stir-fry for 1 minute.
Serve and enjoy!

What do you think? Is this a meal you’ve made before? We’re sure a few of you keep this in your meal rotation as it’s great for avoiding food waste. Would you make any changes? Let us know in the comments.

It seems a lot of the meals I make are mix, swap and add whatever. I rarely seem to have all the right ingredients a recipe calls for. This makes for some interesting meals but unfortunately it makes it almost impossible to re-create something that has turned out particularly well.
