Fried Rice Feat. Random Freezer Veg

Quick fried rice with frozen veg for those days that regular rice just won’t cut it.

By keeping some staples on hand you can almost always pack your rice with a ton of flavor. I had a bag of frozen veg, a couple of bags of frozen rice (leftover cooked rice also works great!), jarred ginger and garlic hanging out in the fridge along with their saucy friends and eggs on deck.

The hoisin is just my own personal preference cause I love hoisin. So feel free to omit it! I added some leftover teriyaki chicken on top of this for some extra protein, but if you’re a plant-based eater you could add in edamame and tofu for some extra protons!
