Really speedy ‘5-ingredient’ fried rice with baby corn
This makes a simple, easy meal by itself, served as an accompaniment with a grill or barbecue. Or heated up to help kids power through their homework or perform their best at sports training after school. Add any extra vegetables you wish, or that need using up. Kecap manis is an Indonesian sweet soy sauce found in the sauce or Asian section of the supermarket or in Asian produce stores. If you don't have any leftover rice, 1 cup rice will make 3 cups cooked rice.
