Last night I had a craving for fried rice and we had leftover pork ribs so, we had pork fried rice.  I don't really have a recipe for fried rice I just throw whatever I have in a skillet add rice and call it fried.  So, I went looking on Pinterest for a simple and easy recipe guess what I found one.  This one is from Food-Construed, Food Explained.  It's a basic recipe that you can follow and add whatever you like.  Since I found their explanation very helpful I included it in the recipe!!!!

                                                           Basic Fried Rice

Note that this ingredient list should be considered a guide only.  It really depends on what you have on hand or what you feel like using.
You could substitute any kind of meat for the sausage (chicken, pork, beef or even shrimp).
Fresh, frozen or leftover corn, mushrooms, peppers or beans could also be included.

2 c. leftover rice
1 clove garlic, chopped
1 c. peas and carrots (canned, frozen or fresh)
1 egg, scrambled
2 sausages, cooked and chopped
1 Tbls. soy sauce
2 Tbls. vegetable oil
    salt and pepper to taste

Heat oil in wok or frying pan.  Brown garlic.  Add rice.  Stir in soy sauce.  Add vegetables, egg and sausage.  Season with salt and pepper.  Serve.

See basic and very simple!!

My note:  I added some shredded cabbage because I had some leftover, frozen peas and carrots then added some green onions at the end.  Oh, and I used the leftover pork ribs, chopped.  For a little more flavor I added some grated ginger and just a splash of teriyaki sauce.  The perfect dinner in my opinion.

The Bearded Fella declared it a hit :)  Enjoy!!!!!
