Leek Fried Rice with Eggs

When you cook rice, cook extra and plan this dish for the next night.

If you have leftover turkey, shred a cup or two and add it to the rice when you add the soy sauce. To dice the ginger, cut into thin matchsticks, then chop into very small pieces. If you're reluctant to cook regular shell eggs sunny-side up, look for pasteurized shell eggs next to the regular eggs in your supermarket. Harder-cooked eggs will work as well, but the contrast of the creamy yolk with the crispy fried rice is fabulous.
