This is my favorite simple and quick fried rice recipe. I came up with this recipe one sunny evening while grabbing a container of leftover Brown rice from the fridge. You only need 8 ingredients to make this fried rice, which most ingredients you might already have in your fridge.

Garlic is a must-have in my fried rice. I cannot make fried rice without adding in a clove….or two. The recipe also uses grated carrots for brightness and red peppers for a hint of sweetness. The red pepper I used in this recipe was fresh from my local farmer’s market. This red pepper was the sweetest I have ever tasted. I preserved the sweetness by adding the chopped red pepper last and taking the pot right off the stove and onto my plate. This keeps the crunch and freshness to the fresh bell pepper, in addition to the Vitamin C found in bell pepper. Yes, oranges are not the only source of Vitamin C.

This is an easy throw together and quick 8 ingredient fried rice recipe. You can substitute the red bell peppers with green or yellow bell peppers. Whatever you have on hand will work. This is a great recipe to use up those extra veggies.
