chinese fried rice

Amys Gluten Free Pantry

I’ve learned to love and appreciate leftovers. In fact when I make any meal, I always consider how I can squeeze one more dinner out of it. So when you make any rice dish, add another cup of dry rice and when it’s done, pull half of it out and reserve for this dinner. Same with with pork chops or Roasted Chicken. Or, keep shrimp frozen in the freezer and pull a bit out for this. I’ve used pork here, but you can use your favorite protein.
