Love Chinese takeout? Here’s a quick way to make healthy Chinese at home without all that MSG! It is one of my family’s favorite ways to eat soaked rice. It can be pared with the healthy protein of your choice including fried eggs (chopped up into small pieces), chicken, beef, or seafood.

I feel that white rice is better than brown rice for this recipe. Feel free to use whatever you enjoy most, however. Wild rice is also delicious and actually the most nutritious choice of the three.
