Low-Carb Vegetarian Nasi Goreng

Low-Carb Vegetarian Nasi Goreng

My healthy low carb take on a flavourful fried rice. Nasi Goreng simply means ‘fried rice’ but over at Keto Diet App we like to do things a little different so we’ve kept the carbs low, ditched all the preservatives and brought you a speedy weeknight dinner that’s packed full of flavour, nutrients and next to no washing up! Bonus!

This one’s vegetarian but feel free to add some cooked prawns, pulled chicken or pork if you prefer.
