Easy Fried Rice

This is ultra easy.  I also buy a little package of diced ham to go in it so we can eat it for dinner instead of as a side dish.  This really works best with rice that is at least a day old so it can dry out just a little (otherwise, it all kind of turns into a gooey mess).  It's so easy though.  If we are doing rice on Sunday, we just make extra and I have a super quick, easy, cheap Monday dinner.
*Note: Paul said let the rice cool until it's cold before putting it in the fridge. It's his fried rice secret...
