Keto Fried Rice

You’ve probably seen countless keto rice recipes with cauliflower rice but this time we’re here to introduce you to a new revolutionary ingredient: Konjak Rice! Not only is it the perfect low-carb alternative for the holiday season but also has countless health benefits especially for those who suffer from diabetes. Konjak comes from a root vegetable and has been in Japan and China for over 1000 years. It “could lower the quantities of serum cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglyceride and may also be involved in the regulation of low blood sugar in Type 2 diabetes” (Sudhanshu S. Behera & Ramesh C. Ray 2016). Long story short, it is an alternative that is high in fiber and vitamins for all of you that are looking for a low-carb alternative to rice. 

Are mushrooms not really your thing? Don’t worry! The mushroom can be switched up for any vegetable of your choice so feel free to get creative and use up all the vegetables you have sitting in your fridge!
