Hi, it’s Whitney here, coming to you with another quick & easy, one pot recipe that I know you’re going to love!
Fried rice has become a weeknight favorite at my house!
Over the years, I’ve shared recipes for Sriracha Steak Fried Rice, Kimchi Fried Rice and Sweet & Sour Chicken Fried Rice on the blog. They’ve all been very popular, so I decided to share another fried rice creation today!
