Easy Egg Fried Rice

One of my favorite quick go-to meals is fried rice. It is so easy and tasty to throw together some leftover rice and veggies to make a delicious and nutritious meal in no time. Plus it is a great way to use up vegetables that maybe rolling about in your fridge! To make this dish IBS-friendly, garlic and onions have been removed but you will not miss them! This dish is easily customizable and you can add your favorite vegetables that do not trigger symptoms!

  5. Make a small well in the middle of the rice mixture. Add soy sauce, ketchup and ACV to the well. Stir until sauces, rice, vegetables and eggs are well combined.
