About


I love a dish that serves as the entire meal like this pork fried rice. We have a protein, veggies and grain all in bowl of fried rice goodness.
The typical fried rice is usually loaded with fat and sodium. My version is lower in fat, although even with the use of low sodium ingredients, the dish is pretty high in sodium so be careful with the salt shaker!
Happy cooking!

Even I try to reduce or exclude salt specially when I'm using any kind of salt containing sauces in my cooking :)

I agree. Much of the time, you don't need as much salt and recipes call for, and I think it allows the flavor of the food to shine through.
