Thanks Val!  That sounds really nice  :D   Only I have no leeks wonder if it would work with Kale or Brocolli (sp)?  As I have both of those.  Maybe onion and brocolli would work :?:

Off to experiment, thanks again  :D  :D  :D

WW's Simple Fried Rice.
Serves 4

Ingredients:
Eggs – lightly beaten - 3
Bacon – cut into 1” strips - 200g
Onion – roughly diced - 1 medium size
Carrot - diced - 100g
Rice – boiled and allowed to go cold - 450g
Mushrooms – roughly sliced - 100g
Peas - 50g
Green Peppers – cut to 1” slices - 50g
Light soya sauce - 2tbsp
Spring onions - chopped - 2
Oil 2 tbsp

Method:
Boil the rice and set aside and allow to go cold. (or use cold leftover boiled rice)
Beat the eggs with a little salt. Fry as an omelette, cut into 1” squares and set aside.

In a wok or frying pan, over medium heat, cook the onion and carrot in a tablespoon of oil until softened.
Add the bacon cook for 1 minute more.
Add the mushrooms, peas and green pepper and continue cooking for a further 2 minutes.
Add the cold cooked rice and stir well until rice is in separate grains.
Add the soya sauce, then the egg squares.
Cook for about 1 more minute.
Sprinkle with the spring onions and serve.

This is a quick, easy and filling dish.
You can vary the recipe by adding, for example, prawns, chillies (if you want to give it a kick), leftover cold pork or ham, bamboo shoots or water chestnuts, or just let your imagination run riot.
Another variation is to used cooked cold noodles instead of rice.

Edited: To add quantities as requested below.
