About

Most of my recipes are inspired by traditional recipes that I think can be made healthier. Like this recipe for shiitake stir fried rice. I saw a stunning photo of a fried rice recipe using these veggies that made my mouth water. Then I remembered how heavy and bloated I feel after eating traditional fried rice. Sure, it tastes really good, but the overload of grain wouldn’t be worth the dip in energy and subsequent weight gain.

Rather than eat a plate of steamed veggies when I’m craving fried rice, I came up with this recipe that has the look, feel, and flavor of traditional stir-fried rice. Try it for yourself! Your taste buds won’t believe that you’re simply eating vegetables and egg.

Note: How amazing will you feel when you reach your goal weight? How elated will you be when your doctor tells you that your health has improved? How exciting will it be when your significant other notices how extra attractive you’re getting? How satisfying will it be when your coworkers, friends, and family ask you what you’re doing differently to look so energetic and lean? How confident will you feel when you look in the mirror and not only love what you see but also feel a sense of pride and accomplishment for the responsible, health- conscious person that you’ve become? Keep going, one bite of cauliflower rice at a time. You’ve got this!

2 eggs

2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

Add the ginger, garlic, and snow peas to the skillet. Add the shredded cauliflower to the skillet. Add the coconut aminos and vinegar. Stir often and cook for 5 minutes. Fold in the sliced egg.
