Love Chinese takeout? Â 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.

In butter, of course! With more butter on top when it was cooked.

We LOVE Chinese food and have missed it terribly since our journey began towards real food. However, this is not one of our particular favorites…do you have any more recipes to share or a resource you could recommend for home-made chinese food?

Fried rice is a favorite here! I always add some chopped scallions, LOTS of chopped garlic, and minced, fresh ginger. Really, with the eggs and a bit of chicken or shrimp, it is nearly a complete meal. I usually have some kind of tossed, chopped salad to go with it, so we get something raw and fresh, too. Great video!

One of my family staples! When I make a roast chicken I make extra rice and voila clean out the veg from the fridge before farmers market and instant delish chinese!
