Befach Fried Rice: Healthy, Not Heavy

Fried rice is the ultimate comfort food. It's the perfect way to use up leftover veggies and create a satisfying, savory meal in minutes. But let's be honest—traditional fried rice can often be greasy and leave you feeling heavy and sluggish, thanks to the high-GI rice and excess oil.

What if you could have all that savory, takeout-style goodness without the guilt and the post-meal slump? With Befach Wellness Low-GI, Fortified Rice, you can. This recipe will show you how to make a fried rice that is genuinely healthy, light, and incredibly delicious.

The Healthy, Not Heavy Difference

• No Carb Coma: The Low-GI property of our rice ensures a slow, steady release of energy. This means you get all the satisfaction without the sharp blood sugar spike and the heavy, tired feeling that follows.
• Perfect Fluffy Texture: The secret to great fried rice is using cold, day-old rice. Befach Wellness Rice is cultivated to stay perfectly fluffy and separate, preventing the mushy texture that can ruin a dish.
• A Nutritional Upgrade: Fortified with Iron, Folic Acid, and Vitamin B12, our rice adds a layer of essential nutrients to your meal, turning a simple dish into a more complete one.

Quick & Healthy Veggie Fried Rice Recipe

The key to this recipe is having all your ingredients prepped and ready to go before you start cooking!

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cooked and chilled Befach Wellness Rice (day-old is best)
• 1 tbsp Sesame Oil
• 1 cup mixed Vegetables, finely chopped (carrots, bell peppers, peas, beans)
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 inch Ginger, grated
• 2 Eggs, lightly beaten (optional, or use crumbled paneer/tofu for a veg option)
• 1 tbsp Soy Sauce (low sodium)
• 1 tsp Rice Vinegar
• Freshly ground Black Pepper
• Spring onions, chopped, for garnish

Instructions:

1. Prep the Rice: If your chilled rice is clumpy, gently break it up with your hands or a fork. This is the most important step for a good stir-fry.
2. Scramble the Protein: Heat half a tablespoon of oil in a large pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs (or paneer/tofu) and scramble until just cooked. Remove from the pan and set aside.
3. Sauté Veggies: Add the remaining oil to the hot pan. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp.
4. Combine: Add the chilled Befach Rice to the pan with the vegetables. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes, breaking up any remaining clumps, until the rice is heated through.
5. Season and Serve: Add the scrambled egg/paneer back to the pan. Drizzle with soy sauce and rice vinegar, and season with black pepper. Toss everything together for one final minute. Garnish with fresh spring onions and serve immediately.
