Edamame Fried Rice

Whenever I cook rice I always seem to end up with too much, leaving me with a big container full of leftovers. This dish actually tastes better with leftover rice and has quickly become one of my favorite “clean out the fridge” recipes, since you can also throw in whatever vegetables you have. Edamame Fried Rice can be served as a side dish to your favorite protein (I love pairing it with tofu) or as a main dish.
