Special Fried Rice

Serves 4

This Chinese take-away classic is very fast food, even when cooked at home, and great for using up leftovers. If you have any rice from the day before great, fried rice is best when cooked with cold leftover rice straight from the fridge, and feel free to alter the recipe, sliced up left over sausages work well. Cooking special fried rice at home is great, unlike a take-away you know what is in the meal, so you end up with a very tasty and nutritious dinner.
