Being a Japanese Filipina halfsie, it’s programmed in my cells for me to consume a good amount of rice with each and every meal. However, being the rebel that I am, I’ve almost completely removed rice from my diet. Ok, perhaps it’s not out of rebellion… more like I noticed cutting out rice from my diet totally upped my energy levels.
Anyway, I’ve eliminated any possibility of rice-withdrawal by pretty much replacing rice with quinoa… including fried rice. And this stuff is pure deliciousness! Plus it’s healthy… and it won’t weigh you down!
