Stir Fried Brown Rice
We all know that brown rice is healthier than it’s white version. But what I didn’t know was that the milling and polishing process that rice goes through to whiten it strips away 90% of vitamin E, 80% of vitamin B1 and magnesium, and significant amount of iron, B3, B6 and fibre. Rice is fattening, and as long as I am eating it, it would be some consolation if I could get some nutritional benefits from it. As per the BBC GoodFood magazine, brown rice is packed with nutrients since it retains its bran layer and its germ and it is linked with lower risks of heart disease, diabetes, obesity and even certain types of cancer.
We do use brown rice at home on an everyday basis but I have never cooked brown basmati rice. I thought it was more aromatic than white rice, but I preferred the white rice in terms of taste. The stir fry I made was quite delicious and comparatively smaller servings of rice were quite filling.
