Mushroom Fried Rice (1 serving(s))

Reduce the rice portion and add extra mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, or other non-starchy vegetables to increase volume and fiber.

Use cauliflower rice for part or all of the rice, or choose cooked-and-cooled basmati rice in a smaller serving.

Add a protein source such as tofu, egg, chicken, shrimp, or edamame to slow digestion and improve meal balance.

Limit sweet sauces, sugary chili sauces, and large amounts of hoisin; season with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, chili, and sesame oil instead.

Eat the fried rice after a fiber-rich starter such as a leafy salad or steamed vegetables, rather than on an empty stomach.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk soon after eating to help reduce the post-meal rise.
