Food Choice - Stir-Fry Recipes
Fried rice can be a healthy food choice. It's all in the way it's prepared and what you add to the rice. When you make fried rice at home you have the luxury of choosing healthy ingredients and sauces. Limiting additional sauces, such as oyster, fish and sweet-and-sour, eliminates additional fat, calories and sodium as well. Adding lots of vegetables as well — and that is where the fun comes in:
