Recipe Notes
Fried rice doesn’t have to be stuck with chicken, shrimp or pork. This is a simple and quick weeknight meal that has great flavor, fiber, quality proteins, and fats, with only one pot to clean up. The daikon brings a sweeter bitterness to the kale and cabbage while the umami flavor of the soy or tamari sauce is enhanced by the tangerine. Stir some fresh mint in just before serving for a hit of aromatic sweetness.
