Lakers-Themed Fried Rice

As an LA resident who was also a huge LAKERS fan, I was happy to discover that I had the perfect yellow and purple leftover ingredients that allowed me to make this mambastic Lakers-Themed Fried RIce as a little tribute to KOBE on the day of his memorial. 💜💛💜

I 💛 FRIED RICE. In case you need some convincing, here are the reasons why:

• insanely quick and easy to make, perfect for beginners!

• super economic -- aside from rice being SO cheap, you can make this dish out of leftovers

• very filling and healthy

• naturally versatile and easy to customize

• always delicious

• easy to pack to school or work
