Basic, easy and fast, this stir-fry is a tasty way to use up leftover rice. Make it a heartier main dish by stirring in a bit of cooked protein, such as thinly sliced pork or beef, diced chicken, or baby shrimp. To change things up, swap the frozen peas for sliced snow peas, sugar snap peas, or tender asparagus tips.
