Healthier Fried Rice

This healthier fried rice recipe makes an easy, healthy lunch! It’s a great way to consume veggies and add in brown rice. The others in my family won’t eat the brown rice {I have no clue why!} so when I am needing something just for myself, skinny fried rice gets created in my kitchen!

I may have a slight obsession with Teriyaki sauce. I don’t know what it is about it, but, I have a love for it! You can literally sprinkle teriyaki in anything and your dish is almost guaranteed to turn out tasting great.

I use teriyaki sauce when I am cooking steak, burgers, making a stir fry, on chicken sandwiches and (obviously) in rice, just to name a few.

What are some ways you use teriyaki sauce in your kitchen?

Ingredient Substitutions for Vegetable Fried Rice Recipe

On the day I shot these pictures I ran out of brown rice and had to add in white rice 🙁

You can also make this vegetable fried rice recipe using white rice if you don’t care for the brown. Also, if you don’t like a veggie, no worries just leave it out! I’ve made this in more ways than I can count. If I have cherry tomatoes on hand I’ll add a few in at the end. The tomatoes add a pretty color…hey they say you eat with your eyes first and as I age I totally believe that now!
