Light soy sauce, lean chicken, and brown rice make this recipe for fried rice a healthier choice. It's lower in sodium, contains lean protein, and the brown rice is a better source of fiber than white rice.

Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

This was delicious! I made a few shortcuts and it was fantastic. I used dried spring onions (dehydrated kind) because I did not have fresh green onions on hand. I also used microwave organic brown rice which saved a great deal of time. I did not use any peppers, but added one egg to the 2nd TBSP of oil before placing the rice in it. Very flavorful--thanks for the recipe!
