As we are about to wrap up Heart Health month, I
wanted to share a fresh new recipe that puts a healthier twist on one of my
favorite dishes, Fried Rice! If you’ve ever been to a Japanese Steakhouse or Hibachi
Restaurant you’ve watched the chefs chop and dice and throw their knives around
creating beating hearts out of their delicious fried rice, right? It’s my
favorite part of a hibachi meal, but have you ever noticed what they are
actually throwing into it? You know that wad of garlic butter that they toss in
there…that’s the equivalent of a whole stick of butter! No wonder it tastes so
darn good!
Anyway, when I teamed up with Kelapo Coconut, I knew it would be a great opportunity to play around to tweak this recipe and boost the nutritional value. I'll be swapping out all that artery clogging butter for nutrient rich coconut oil.
Did you know that coconut oil is comprised of medium chain triglycerides (MCTs) which have been shown to help the body absorb important nutrients and minerals as well as eliminate harmful bacteria and fight signs of aging. So just adding coconut oil into your cooking routine will skyrocket the nutrients of the rest of your meal!
