    Weight Watcher's fried rice is a lighter version of the classic, and uses cooking spray instead of oil to make it lighter. The soy sauce gives it it's flavor. Add in some shrimp or chicken for protein.

    All day long, there has been this sharp dull pain in my tooth that keeps on coming back. It would go away for an hour, and then come back and ibu profen has not helped the pain at all. The only thing that does help is a frozen pack of vegetables against my mouth and that is what I was doing at my desk all day long. Thankfully there's a grocery store by us where we can get a frozen pack of vegetables. I had to get some for this fried rice.  It almost feels like the pain is coming from where I had a cavity filled the last time. If it continues tomorrow, I'm calling the dentist. Hoping to god they don't say I need a root canal or anything. Tooth pain sucks.

    There was some leftover rice in my fridge from making chicken cheese casserole the other night so I decided to make some fried rice. If you have leftover rice and use frozen vegetables this dish comes together in no time at all. Super quick and easy week night meal. Just add some shrimp or some chicken for extra protein!

    Ingredients Needed

    • Cooking spray - olive oil or canola oil spray
    • Egg(s), lightly beaten - The best type of eggs you can buy at the store are organic or free-range eggs, while others may prefer eggs from specific breeds of chickens
    • Carrot(s), shredded - contribute a subtle sweetness and a hearty texture to the dish.
    • Scallion(s), sliced, divided
    • White rice - I like to cheat and use the 90 second microwave rice packets that you can find at most grocery stores these days. Target has some.
    • Frozen green peas, thawed - or mixed frozen veggies
    • Low sodium soy sauce, or to taste - Use a Low Sodium or if you don’t have that on hand go for Tamari or Coconut Amino Acids
    • See the recipe card below for a full list of ingredients and measurements.

    What to serve with fried rice?

    Fried rice is a versatile dish that can be served as a main course or as a side dish. It pairs well with a variety of foods, depending on your taste preferences. Here are some ideas for what to serve with fried rice:

    • Vegetables: Steamed or stir-fried vegetables are a great option to pair with fried rice. Broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and snap peas are all good choices.
    • Protein: Fried rice is often made with chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu. Consider serving additional protein on the side, such as grilled or roasted meats, fish, or a fried egg. Make a complete Hibachi Chicken and Vegetables meal on the Blackstone.
    • Soup: A light soup can be a nice complement to fried rice. Consider a clear broth soup with vegetables or a miso soup. Try my recipe for Wonton Soup.
    • Fruit: Fresh fruit can provide a sweet and refreshing contrast to the savory flavors of fried rice. Pineapple, mango, and papaya are all good options.
