What is the easiest dinner with rice?+

Fried rice or a simple bowl with protein and sauce are fastest — often ready in 20–25 minutes.

Can I use leftover rice?+

Leftover rice is perfect for fried rice. Day-old rice is actually drier and fries better than fresh.

What protein goes with rice bowls?+

Chicken, ground beef, shrimp, tofu, and eggs all work well. Tell Spoon Simple what you have and we'll match ideas.
