In an age where low carb diets are the rage, how can a rice-based dish be touted as being healthy? I'm not a dietitian nor am I a believer in the efficacy of diets, so correct me if I should have the wrong idea of diets. I lack self-control when it comes to food. Diets only make me crave the very things that I need to stop eating and I end up eating more of them. I am trying to practice some level of moderation in my food choices (not with much success though for I succumb to temptation all too often). The health factor in this dish is largely due to it being a high-fibre and nutrient-rich dish. You can opt for white polished rice or brown rice. I chose brown rice because I like the nutty flavour and its slightly chewier texture.
