If you have leftover rice and a refrigerator with some things in it, a delicious fried rice can be yours.

This smart and simple recipe comes from our friend over at The Wicked Noodle. She stresses that you don't really need any recipe to whip this up -- just three to four cups of leftover rice, two eggs and a bunch of your favorite veggies to stir on the wok.

There are endless ways to dress up this rice and make it real nice -- all while keeping it vegetarian (a perfect choice for Meatless Monday, no?). If you want some guidance, head over to The Wicked Noodle to learn how to make the easiest fried rice in town.
