Fried rice goes with a range of dishes, it is super easy, cost-effective and you can make a massive batch to freeze for lunches or another night of the week. It is super versatile as well, making it perfect for the whole family – add in whatever veggies you like, switch up the proteins between ham, prawns, pork or chicken and you have a winner every time.  Gotta love that!

Note – you don’t have to use different coloured rice, but this is a great way to increase the colour range of your diet. Also, mix things up and try our Cauli Rice option.
