Ingredients in Weight Watchers Breakfast Fried Rice
- Low sodium soy sauce: You can use coconut aminos, soy sauce, or Tamari – all of these can easily be found at your local grocery store.
- Dry mustard
- Coconut oil: Or any other minimally processed oil
- Onion: I use red onion a lot because it’s anti-inflammatory, but you can use any type of onion.
- Garlic: Fresh minced garlic is definitely best – if you are in a pinch you can use garlic powder, it just won’t be as fresh and flavorful.
- Ginger: Again, fresh is best, but if you are in a pinch you can use ginger paste or frozen ginger cubes.
- Bell peppers: Whichever color you like best. We prefer red bell pepper in this recipe.
- Peas and carrots: I use a frozen bag of green peas and carrots. You can also substitute out other frozen mixed vegetables.
- Sausage: Healthy chicken sausage is best – we love the chicken and apple flavor. Ground turkey sausage will also work for this recipe and significantly decreases your points.
- Turkey Bacon: Or regular bacon–your call! If using regular bacon, I like to get center cut or trim the fat from it. Regular pork bacon should be cooked before you add it.
- Eggs: An egg substitute is also a good substitute for this this recipe – you may also leave the eggs out entirely if needed.
- Green Onions: You’ll garnish your dish with fresh chopped green onions at the end.
- Rice: I’ve used both brown rice and white rice, both have nutritional benefits and both are so easy to make in the Instant Pot! This recipe cooks so much easier when you make your regular rice the day before–if you want it now, no worries–it’s delicious either way!
How to make WW Breakfast Fried Rice on the stovetop
Time needed: 40 minutes.
This fried rice is perfect for breakfast!
- Make your sauce – Mix Tamari or low sodium soy sauce with the dry mustard. Set aside.
- Sauté – Heat 1 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet or wok. Add onions, garlic, ginger, bell pepper, and poultry sausage and sauté for 3-5 minutes on medium heat.
- Add the extras – Add diced bacon and peas and carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes on medium. If you want to cook the eggs in the pan, move the contents of the pan to one side of the skillet and add the eggs to the other side and cook until scrambled, stirring frequently.
- Add rice – Add the cooked brown rice or white rice the the pan.
- Add your sauce – Pour sauce over rice mixture and gently stir to combine.
- Add eggs, if you haven’t yet. – If you are cooking your eggs separately, add them in now. Cook for 3-5 minutes or until thoroughly heated through, stirring often.
Recipe tips
- Cook the rice the day before and refrigerate over night
- This is an awesome Weight Watchers recipe because it is packed with lean protein. We all know that getting those protein levels up means more energy, staying full longer, and fewer chances for unnecessary snacking.
- I often make this in a cast iron skillet which works well, gets very hot, and makes quick work of crisping up the meats and veggies. If you prefer to use a wok or large nonstick skillet that would work well too!
- We have found that leftover rice is more flavorful the next day
- We love to eat the leftovers in corn tortillas for breakfast tacos, or rolled up into burritos.
