Fried Rice with Crispy Rice & Diced Vegetables

Yesterday’s rice has two futures: stir-fry it plain, or deep-fry a handful until it crackles. Scatter the crispy grains on top, and every mouthful has a satisfying snap — a small stroke of ingenuity at the rescue table.

  1. Rinse the leftover rice in water, drain, then deep-fry in hot oil until crisp. Set aside.

  2. Dice assorted vegetable stem ends (broccoli stalks, carrot offcuts, mushroom pieces) and blanch in boiling water. Set aside.

  3. Heat oil in a wok, beat in the egg and scramble, then add the plain rice, diced vegetables, seasoning, and the fried crispy rice. Toss until well combined and serve.
