Broccoli, bell peppers, and mushrooms all work well in fried rice. - If you like your fried rice with a bit of heat, add some crushed red pepper flakes or Sriracha sauce to the skillet. - For a vegetarian version of this recipe, simply omit the chicken and add more vegetables or tofu. - Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove.
