As my little 7-year-old says, this fried rice recipe is easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy. Seriously, in ten minutes, you will have a dish that is not only bursting with flavor but also healthy!
That’s right, fried rice can actually be a healthy meal! Use a nonstick pan to remove the need for excess oil and try mostly egg whites. This dish will have your swimsuits thanking you!
Another trick to cut down on the fat is by using punches of big flavor for satisfaction. Jalapeno, lemongrass, curry, and lime get together to create a major party on your taste buds!
Although, if you were really in the mood for a fat-kid-Sunday type of dish, adding thick coconut milk and coconut oil would make this stick to your ribs through the next day, and. Be pretty damn good too. But, since it is the summer, I’m trying to keep my ribs as light as can be.😉
Looking for a wine pairing? Try it with a nice dry glass of Trimbach Riesling. Whatever you do, just be sure to add these ingredients to your next grocery shopping list!
