Leftovers #5 Saffron Egg Fried Rice

Having left over rice is always a good idea. One of my first leftover dishes I shared with you was fried rice. You can follow that recipe however instead use day old saffron rice and you get a interesting taste and beautifully vibrant coloured dish. 

The recipe is basic... add some oil to a pan, heat then add your chopped veggies and chopped ham. Stiring to cook the veggies a bit and heat the ham. Then add in the leftover saffron rice. Stir to combined everything together. Drizzle some sesame oil over top. Break one... or two eggs in a small bowl. Push the rice mixture around the sides of the pan. Add the eggs. Break and scrabble the eggs folding in the rice mixture, again incorporating everything. In a small separate bowl add about 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and about 1 teaspoon or 2 of sesame oil and about 2 tablespoons of sherry. Mix those liquids together and pour over the rice mixture in the pan. Making sure everything gets coated. Now depending on how much leftover rice you have and how many people your are serving you will have to adjust your quantities of ingredients.
