There is something so satisfying about a bowl of fried rice but I rarely order it out. I find it typically too greasy and heavy even though I’m always craving it. The angel on my shoulder usually wins on this one because I know it’s not worth the stomachache that will surely ensue. This take on traditional fried rice is much lighter and filled with so many low FODMAP foods. Plus no one will know it’s brown rice and not white….see how sneaky I am?! Feel free to add proteins like tofu, chicken or shrimp to this dish like I typically do.
