What’s in the Fridge Quinoa Fried Rice

Fried rice is so simple to make and it’s way better for you when you make it yourself. Plus it costs less and it’s an easy way to clean out your refrigerator – a win-win for sure!
The secret to good fried rice is to use chilled cooked grains. So if you don’t have any leftover cooked whole grains sitting in your fridge, cook some up ahead of time and let them chill. In this recipe I used quinoa to add a little extra protein, but you can use any type of whole grain that you want.
Fried rice is a great way to use up whatever has been hanging around your kitchen. I used zucchini, purple cabbage, broccoli, yellow bell pepper, and peas along with a left over chicken breast, but any combination of vegetable and lean protein will do.
This is a dinner that can be on the table in less than one hour. The most time-consuming part is chopping the vegetables which can be done the day before while your whole grains are cooking for a speedy dinner preparation the next day.
