This Clean Eating Chinese Fried Rice is a great recipe to use if you are cooking wholegrain rice for the first time. It is anything but boring! So full of flavour, so savoury and delicious!
I’ve ‘cleaned’ up this recipe just a little from one that our old next door neighbour used to make (she wasn’t old, it was just a long time ago). I must have been around 8 years old at the time, we lived in a beautiful brand new house with a huge garden and next door to us lived an amazing cook. I can still smell the aromas coming from her kitchen window now!
My mum recreated this recipe lots throughout the years and now I’m excited to add my own little twist on it – and so can you! You can add whatever vegetables you like or you could jazz it up even more by adding some chicken, prawns or tofu.
When you have a hankering for a takeaway remember this recipe! It is so quick and easy to make, it will hit the spot and it tastes fantastic cold the following day.
