We always cook these two recipes one day after the other because when you make the stir fry you’ll cook too much rice which you’ll then use the next night for the fried rice. (The secret to really fantastic fried rice is to use cooked rice that’s been cooled, preferably overnight.) You can substitute pretty much any of the ingredients, they are both really simple dishes and easy to modify to suit your own tastes. The fried rice is served in lettuce leaves (let everyone you’re feeding do their own, it’s fun and quite messy) which means you don’t even have to bother making a salad.
