Homemade Chinese. Save Yourself the Calories!

Chinese food is amazingly delicious, but it's often a calorie bomb. To save your waistline you can easily make it at home with less than half the calories and fat! Today I'm featuring an easy Shrimp Fried Rice, one of my absolute favorite Chinese dishes.

You will need:

3 cups of cooked brown rice
1 pound of cooked shrimp, seasoned with salt and pepper and I added some garlic powder
1 bag of frozen stir-fry veggies, cooked according to package directions
3 tbsp of olive oil
3 tbsp of low sodium soy sauce
1 egg

To start, heat the oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add in the rice and stir until all of it is coated with the oil.

Next, push the rice to the center of the pan and turn the heat down to low. Break the egg into the center of the frying pan and quickly stir it into the rice so that the rice is coated with the egg.

Drizzle the soy sauce over the rice and stir, then add the shrimp and vegetables. Turn the heat back up to medium-high and stir until combined. Add extra soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste if necessary.

This is so easy! It tasted almost exactly like take-out without all of the guilt. I will be making this again, and stay tuned this fall for my crockpot General Tsao's Chicken!
