Fried rice is a flavorful dish originating from Asian cuisine, particularly Chinese, though it is popular worldwide with regional variations. It typically consists of cooked rice stir-fried with ingredients like vegetables, eggs, meat or seafood, and seasoned with soy sauce or other spices. Common add-ins include peas, carrots, green onions, and proteins like chicken or shrimp. Fried rice can be made healthier by using brown rice, incorporating more vegetables, and reducing added oils or sodium-rich sauces. However, traditional recipes may be high in sodium and calories due to generous use of soy sauce, oil, and fatty meats. Low-sodium soy sauce and lean protein options are excellent swaps for a more nutritious version. Its versatility and balance of carbohydrates, proteins, and micronutrients make fried rice a satisfying meal, though portion control is key to keeping it aligned with a balanced diet.
