Using chilled, cooked rice is the preferred way of making fried rice because it helps keep the more firm texture of the rice. The bacon adds flavor without making this a heavy dish. It's perfect served alongside egg rolls, sweet and sour pork, or chicken chow mein.

This crispy kale and mushroom fried rice takes a minute or two longer than most fried rice dishes, but only because of the added time to get the kale extra crispy. Otherwise it's a very simple dish that's easy to prepare at home for a side dish or a light meal.

I had some long beans in the fridge, as well as some old rice, so I threw together this super easy long bean fried rice. I added some crispy garlic for extra crunch and avocado for creaminess. I’ve never had avocado with fried rice before and let me tell you, I’m a convert! The creaminess of the avocado with the crispy rice bits was so addictive.

The saltiness of kimchi and the spiciness of the garlic paste are phenomenal with rice. A fried egg takes it to a whole new level. This is a dish that can be made with any type of meat. Pork, chicken or shrimp will do the job just right. I used a piece of andouille sausage and it came out great.
