Veggie Fried Rice

Raise your hand if your weekly dinner menu includes Chinese carry-out.

I’m raising mine!

In our house, when we order Chinese food, we always order a variety of things, but one thing that remains the same on our weekly order is fried rice.

Mmm Mmm!  Love it!

BUT, it isn’t the most healthy thing on the menu that you can order.

As a matter of fact, most things on a Chinese carry-out menu aren’t very healthy.

So, when I found this great recipe in my Weight Watchers Weekly, I made sure to save it for my next grocery shopping trip.

Coat a large skillet with cooking spray.

Then heat over medium-high heat.

Add your egg to the frying pan and swirl it around the skillet.

Cook the egg through and then remove from the skillet with a wooden spoon to a plate.

With a fork, break up the egg into small pieces.

Finally, add your cooked rice to the skillet and heat through.

Then add your cooked egg, soy sauce, and rice vinegar.

Ingredient Additions:

  • For extra protein: Add grilled chicken breasts or steamed shrimp
  • Diced yellow onions
  • Oyster Sauce
  • Snow Peas
  • Garlic Powder

Substitutions

  • Use sesame oil or olive oil instead of cooking spray
  • For a lower carb option, use cauliflower rice instead of regular rice
  • Or swap white rice for brown rice
  • You can use ginger paste instead of fresh ginger root
Add protein to change it from a side dish to a main dish

Delicious and flavorful meal

I absolutely recommend adding steamed shrimp, grilled chicken, or even some tofu to ramp up the protein and create a good, hearty meal.

This will change your fried rice from a side dish to a completely satisfying main dish.

Also, I highly recommend adding in diced yellow onion to this recipe.

It will add that extra crunch and gives the rice a wonderful flavor.

Xiǎngshòu! (Enjoy!)
