Veggie Pork Fried Rice: how I got my kid to eat, and love, vegetables!<\/em><\/p>\n <\/a> I struggled with the title of this post – How My Kids Learned to Love Vegetables<\/em> would have been good, Veggie Pork Fried Rice for Whole Foods Newport Beach Grand Opening<\/em> was appropriate but too long, How to Make Fried Rice With No Soy Sauce<\/em> – nah, Family Favorite: Vegetable Pork Fried Rice<\/em> just didn’t roll off the tongue. In the end, it’s College Girl’s 21st birthday and even though she is thousands of miles away studying (probably not tonight) in Japan – this was her favorite dish, morning, noon or night, ever since she was a wee toddler just learning about real food. Happy Birthday, Chloe! Hope you don’t mind that I substituted\u00a0Chinese peas for broccoli \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n

I don’t add soy sauce while cooking the rice because introducing any wet ingredients can make your fried rice soggy or clumpy, and who wants that. In fact, I don’t use soy sauce at all any more because of its high sodium content (even low-sodium is too high), instead the sesame oil and condiments like furikake and gomasio with seaweed, sesame seeds, and bonito flakes add umami flavor and texture. You can purchase furikake and gomasio at Asian markets or, for one stop shopping, I visit the international aisle at Whole Foods Market where they have a wide selection of \u00a0ingredients commonly used in Asian cooking, and many that aren’t so common.<\/p>\n
