Breakfast Fried Rice

Fried rice: it's what's for breakfast. No, not a cold serving from the box of leftover takeout in the fridge, but a homemade fried rice that's fast and easy for weekday mornings. The best part of this recipe is that it uses up leftover rice (or farro, spelt, sorghum, quinoa, or any other grain you cooked for dinner) in a whole new way.
