Healthy Fried Rice Recipe

Healthy Fried Rice is a simple, nourishing dish that combines whole-grain brown rice, lean chicken, and colourful vegetables. Cooked with Rice Bran Oil, it’s light, aromatic, and heart-friendly — a smart choice for anyone who loves fried rice but wants a healthier version. The balance of protein, fibre, and healthy fats keeps you full without feeling heavy.

Why Choose Healthy Fried Rice with Rice Bran Oil?

Using Rice Bran Oil makes this Healthy Fried Rice especially good for your heart. The oil’s high smoke point prevents oxidation, while its vitamin E and oryzanol support cholesterol control. This combination lets you enjoy fried rice that’s crisp, tasty, and lower in saturated fat. It’s an excellent meal option for families seeking nutritious home-cooked food.

🍳 Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp Rice Bran Oil

  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

  • 2 skinless chicken breasts, diced

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce

  • Pepper to taste
