This recipe calls for Jasmine rice, but there’s no reason why you can’t use brown rice instead. You could also save time by cooking your rice for this recipe in advance and storing it in the fridge for a couple of days. Using pre-cooked rice always makes for a tastier fried rice.

Budget friendly

Not only does this recipe just need pantry and fridge staples, that you’ve probably already got in the cupboard, it’s really budget friendly and it’s a great recipe for using up fresh veggies from the fridge, but frozen or tinned work just as well.
