You Have: Leftover Rice
You Don't Want: Fried Rice
You ordered Chinese food and now you've got a fridge full of getting-drier-by-the-day rice yet no desire whatsoever to fry it up with other odds and ends. This brilliant egg dish is a perfect alternative. You start by softening minced scallions, ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes in a skillet with some oil; then you spread the rice on top and let it sit until it's nice and crispy. Next, you pour a mixture of eggs whisked with soy sauce on top; sprinkle peas over the eggs, and continue cooking on the stove for a few more minutes. A brief blast under the broiler turn the eggs golden and bubbly.
