Half a bag of rice, a few eggs, some frozen vegetables, and a nearly empty fridge—what would you turn that into?

Fried rice is an obvious option, but I’d love to hear some less predictable ideas. The kind of meal that works with whatever is around, without a shopping trip for three missing ingredients.

I work on EasyDish, where we share everyday meal ideas, and I’m interested in how people actually cook when they’re using things up. Recipes are useful, but sometimes a simple combination or a good substitution is all you need.
