This is the ultimate clean-out-the-fridge side dish. It’s also the perfect canvas for adding your favorite protein. Stir in sliced cooked pork, chicken, or steak to make it a main dish meal. And you can always change up the vegetables called for here and use whatever you have on hand.
We recommend starting with leftover (cold) rice for the best results.

Use frozen mixed vegetables
Pop them into the microwave to thaw, and then add to the recipe in place of our fresh vegetables.
