Asian-inspired and never greasy, this “fried” rice is the perfect skinny meal.

One pan dinners are simply the best. Not only do I love the quick, one dish clean-up, but when all the ingredients cook together, the flavour is like nothing else.

I love fried rice, but I often find it too oily and greasy in restaurants. This delicious, healthier alternative, is definitely not a traditional fried rice, but it is full of flavour. And it can be ready in under 30 minutes.

You won’t miss the butter and loads of oil in this tasty, Asian-inspired dish.
