This is the best family dinner recipe there is. Call it the clean-out-the-veggie-drawer dinner, or the empty-the-fridge-and-eat-it dinner. It is so simple. So quick and full of flavour. Do not underestimate the value of a good fried rice recipe. Now I know I use a wok, but hello! Fried rice CAN NOT be done in the Varoma of your Thermomix. I don't care who you are. So capitulate if you want flavour and become a wok star. It is really very easy and fast. The key is heat. Enough heat. So don't turn it down. A bit of smoke never hurt anyone! Enjoy!
