In the recipe below, we will cook rice using a similar method to that of sushi. We’ll then stir-fry the rice in a rich garlic base, with delicious Japanese components like shiitake mushroom and edamame bean. We’ll top the dish with thin slices of crisped garlic to add more garlicky flavour.
The recipe is vegan because we didn’t add any butter to the stir-fry. It’s more suitable for a weight loss weight loss program due to its lower fat content and higher fibre content.
This dish is more nourishing because of the mushrooms and beans. If you have a little extra, this dish can be served as a main course.
One full bowl contains 21% of the RDI in carbs 30% for fibres and 38 % for protein. You can also add a piece of fruit to make a complete meal.
This recipe was a lot of fun to make, and we hope that you will enjoy it too. Follow the instructions below and enjoy.
Can fried rice frozen?
You can freeze fried rice. Store leftovers for up to two months in zip-lock bags or freezer-friendly containers. Divide the rice into individual-serving sizes and defrost only what you need.
Heat up the garlic-risotto in the microwave or on a skillet when you are ready to eat.
To bring back the crispy texture of fried rice, we recommend heating it on a nonstick pan. It will be softer if you warm it in the microwave.
What ingredients are used in Japanese fried risotto?
Japanese fried rice can be made with leftovers from the refrigerator. This is why the most common ingredients are refrigerated rice, eggs and ham.
The rice is then fried with simple seasonings such as salt, pepper, Soy Sauce, and parsley.
We wanted to create a recipe that was a healthy vegan alternative to the traditional dish but with Japanese flavours.
We paired the sticky rice with shiitake mushroom meat and edamame candy beans to boost fibres and plant proteins. We then used sesame, crispy garlic and soy sauce to give the rice a delicious flavour.
Can fried rice really be healthy?
Fried rice can be unhealthy if it is made with a lot of oil, butter, eggs, and ham.
You can control the ingredients and portions when you make it yourself. You can easily transform it into a healthy dish.
We’ve used only 1/2 tbsp oil per person and replaced traditional ingredients with healthier alternatives, such as shiitake mushroom and edamame bean. Low in fat, they’re packed with protein and fibre. Rice and beans help to slow down digestion and absorption. Your body will have more time to burn off the calories you have released, rather than storing them as fat.
When you stir-fry rice with little or no oil, and combine it with fiber-rich ingredients, you will reduce the calories and feel fuller for longer.
