Very Veggie Fried Rice with Eggs

Some of the best dinners can come from a choose-your-own-adventure-like foray into your fridge to see what leftover vegetable you can make something out of. Here, vegetable fried rice uses zucchini or broccoli or green beans, packs in some frozen peas and carrots, and gets a nutrition boost from shredded kale. A dreamy fried egg is the protein topper that takes this easy weeknight meal to legendary status.
