What do you do with leftover Fried Rice?

I don't know if this is universally true, but here in the US, Chinese take out offers a choice of single items or combination plates. If you've ever ordered a combination plate, you know that well over half of the order is Fried Rice. I always have some leftover. ALWAYS! So, what do I do with it since the main course is now long gone? I make breakfast!! Yep - breakfast! Fried Rice already has eggs incorporated into it, so I just double down on the egg. I reheat the rice in the pan (usually the same pan I used to cook the bacon) and then pour over my scrambled eggs and begin stirring. When the eggs are cooked, but still moist, I turn off the heat and grab my plate (sometimes a bowl, if I don't have bacon) and serve! It's actually pretty good. Today I didn't add soy sauce because I didn't have as much rice as I usually do, but I will also add soy sauce while it's reheating before pouring the egg over the rice. For me, this is a great way to use up leftover fried rice.
