Fried rice was made for those containers of leftover takeout in your fridge
Broccoli stands up beautifully to the bold flavors of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, chile and scallion in this stir-fry. As always, fried rice is best made with cold leftover rice. Make sure to organize your prep in advance, setting up your bowls of ingredients next to the stove, as this goes very quickly, and you'll need to be ready. Leftover rice from Chinese food take-out is a perfect candidate for this dish.
