When you ordered Chinese takeout in the past, you probably ate a full day’s calories in a single meal already! Now, you can eat a big helping of homemade “Chinese takeout” without feeling guilty and it’s healthy enough to satiate you throughout the day. This vegan recipe is made with cauliflower rice fried in coconut oil and soy sauce. Served on top is a heaping pile of green, shelled edamame and tender brown mushrooms. Also on top is the star of the show: firm tofu sauteed in its own marinade with ginger and green onion. The complete bowl makes a full meal, but there are ways you can add more to the dish without breaking your macros. All the ingredients are safe to store in your refrigerator for up to 3 days, so you can make multiple batches for meal prepping your Keto recipes. Simply microwave, or you can even eat the bowl cold!
### Vegan Keto Toppings I Can Use
Almost any vegan Keto topping you add to your fried rice bowl is going to add some carbohydrates. Try to choose toppings that add fibrous carbs instead of net carbs. For example, avocado can rise in carbohydrates, but it’s mostly fiber. If you’re trying to add more fat to your fried rice bowl, try making a spicy mayo topping using vegan mayonnaise and Sriracha.
### What Other Vegetables Can I Use?
If you want to add more ingredients to your fried rice bowl, many vegetables you typically see in takeout dishes are Keto-friendly. Dark green vegetables, such as bok choy and Chinese broccoli, will add fiber, nutrients, and some calories. You may want to try adding nuts to your bowl, such as sauteed cashews, which add lots of fat and wholesome carbohydrates.
