The other major market for fried rice is as a snack food – it's the ideal way to use up your leftovers, and this time, there's the distinct advantage of actually getting to eat it.
Although in British restaurants, we tend to hoof down fried rice as a side dish, it can comfortably serve as dinner itself, especially if you throw in a few extra vegetables or some chopped up meat or seafood. Rose Prince puts it perfectly in The New English Kitchen when she says that "an enormous bowl ... on the knee – a big cup of jasmine tea beside – makes an immaculate dinner on its own". The only thing I'd add is that a big glass of cold beer is an excellent substitute.
