I think this has to be one of my new favorite recipes and it is so so simple and easy to make!
What I love is not only is this recipe simple, but it’s delicious, full of flavor, and super filling! You can switch up the veggies, protein, and sauces and have several “different” recipes. Another way to mix things up is to add different fruits or nuts. Cashews are really good in this recipe too! Slightly toasting the rice in the pan is a game changer!
If you didn’t know I am in recovery from a Binge Eating disorder AND on WW trying to lose some weight. These two things are hard to do together, but I am making it work for me.
Part of my weight loss journey this time around is really changing my relationship with food. I am really focusing on eating foods I love, and not labeling foods “good or bad”. Restricting certain foods is something I used to struggle with on my weight loss journey in the past. When I was doing this a lot it would eventually cause me to binge more.
Allowing myself to enjoy all foods and actually enjoy my food. This change is not only helping me lose weight, but also helping with my ED recovery.

Notes
Another way I love to make this recipe easier is get the Asian Stir Fry Vegetables from Trader Joe's refrigerator section. I do a bit more chopping on those veggies and follow the same recipe here.
I’ll give it a try!
