Leftover Fried Rice with anything

Okay, this is probably not even a recipe. I just took everything that was left over or needed to be eaten for any other reason.

Ingredients:

Anything that needs to get out of your fridge. In my case:

• (cooked) white and red rice
• Carrots
• Onions
• Savoy Cabbage
• Chick peas
• Leeks
• Mock Duck
• Salt
• a clove of garlic
• a few table spoons of canola oil
• optional: some soy sauce

Easy: Winter Stew
