Zero point fried rice is a term typically used in Weight Watchers to describe a version of fried rice that is low in points. This is usually achieved by using ingredients that are zero points on the Weight Watchers program, such as brown rice, vegetables, and lean protein. The dish in the image appears to contain white rice, which is not a zero point food on Weight Watchers. It also appears to contain other ingredients that may not be zero points, such as oil and soy sauce.
Here is a recipe for zero point fried rice from Weight Watchers:
Ingredients
- 2 cups cooked brown rice
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1/2 cup chopped vegetables (such as carrots, peas, and onions)
Instructions
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the egg and cook, stirring constantly, until scrambled.
- Add the rice, soy sauce, and vegetables to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through.
You can add other zero point ingredients to this recipe, such as cooked chicken or shrimp.
Here are some other tips for making low-point fried rice:
- Use brown rice instead of white rice. Brown rice is a whole grain that is higher in fiber and nutrients than white rice.
- Use a lean protein, such as chicken or shrimp.
- Limit the amount of oil you use.
- Use low-sodium soy sauce.
- Add vegetables for flavor and nutrients.
