You know why I love this recipe so much? Because it\u2019s so dang versatile. A lot of this dish can be made with leftovers, which is always a huge bonus in my book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The idea originally came from having two leftover white rice containers from Chinese takeout. I didn\u2019t want to waste perfectly good rice, so I did a Pinterest search for \u201cdinner recipes with leftover rice.\u201d I came across a simple recipe that showed me how to make fried rice with crockpot teriyaki chicken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now making crockpot meals may seem convenient, but I actually try to avoid them. By the time I leave and get back to my apartment from a full day of work, at least 10 or 11 hours have gone by. Oliver tends to be out for 9 or 10 himself. So even if we were to throw something in, that just seems like an absurd time to keep food sitting there before we get home. I know a lot of people do it, but I prefer to make those crockpot meals on the weekend.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the years went on, I started to mess around with fried rice recipes on my own, trying to simplify the former recipe even further. But I think I’ve finally mastered a recipe of my own.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I tried to write out my recipe on my recent meal plan for all of you (which yes, you can get free every Saturday in your inbox<\/a>). But once I was finished writing it out, the whole thing felt complicated to me. So I took some time to make the recipe and break it down step-by-step for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recipe is versatile!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

This is a HUGE part of why I love this recipe so much. You can make so many varieties of it! Here are your possibilities:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
