About Jasmine fried rice

Jasmine fried rice is a popular dish originating from Southeast and East Asian cuisines, particularly Thailand. It features fragrant jasmine rice stir-fried with a combination of vegetables, proteins (like eggs, tofu, or shrimp), and seasonings like soy sauce or garlic. Jasmine rice is known for its light, floral aroma and slightly sticky texture when cooked. A typical serving provides a mix of carbohydrates from the rice for energy, along with vitamins and minerals from added vegetables. Protein sources (such as eggs or tofu) contribute to its nutrient density, while fats from cooking oil make it calorie-dense. However, sodium levels may be high depending on seasonings used.

• Rich in essential nutrients like vitamin A (from carrots or greens) and vitamin C (from bell peppers or other vegetables) for immune support.
• Contains complete proteins when prepared with egg or tofu, which help in muscle repair and overall body function.

Dietary Considerations

Allergens: Contains soy, egg, seafood (if using shrimp), gluten (if soy sauce contains wheat)
