    Turmeric Vegetable Fried Rice

    Main Courses

    We’re taking a spin on the traditional fried rice with this Turmeric Vegetable Fried Rice! 

    We added turmeric for an extra anti-inflammatory kick. It also makes the rice look really pretty and yellow. Turmeric is a multi-purpose spice. It’s rich in curcumin, which has been shown to have anti-carcinogenic, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial effects. Turmeric also has powerful antioxidant properties, which can help fight cancer-causing free radicals. In India, it is commonly used for treating a variety of skin ailments, including acne, eczema, and rosacea.This flavorful spice is incredibly affordable! It also lasts for long periods of time in the food pantry.

    Let’s get this one going. When cooking your brown rice, add 1/2 tablespoon of turmeric and 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water, and cook as per package instructions. Set aside once done. In a large pan, heat the sesame oil, and add the onions. Sauté for 1-2 minutes over medium heat. Add in the eggs, and scramble for 1-2 minutes. Then add in the mixed vegetables, cooked turmeric rice, cabbage, and the soy or tamari sauce

    Cook over low heat for 4-5 minutes. Turn off the heat, and mix in the sprouts. Add salt, to taste, and top with scallions and toasted sesame seeds. Enjoy!
     
    For the mixed vegetables, we got the frozen pack of green beans, carrots, corn, and peas. You can get any frozen vegetable mix you enjoy though! How do you spice up your fried rice? What do you think of our Turmeric Vegetable Fried Rice? Let us know in the comments below!

    Last month when I asked who you wanted us to inter Last month when I asked who you wanted us to interview for our habits series, 90% of you said Gretchen Rubin. Today your wish comes true. For those not familiar with @gretchenrubin, she is one of today’s most influential and thought-provoking observers of happiness and human nature, especially as it pertains to habits.

    LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Vall LIFE UPDATE: I purchased a home in the Hudson Valley with 5 acres of land! (Even typing that makes me anxious lolol) All reno updates will be on @bohiohomes. I’ve been wanting a home close by to retreat into nature and considered a few locations but honestly, the racial tension and lack of diversity upstate gave me mixed feelings. I actually went to school in New Paltz (and love it SO MUCH) so I’m not sure why I didn’t consider buying here sooner. I took a trip this summer to go apple picking and was like wait, New Paltz is perfect! It’s welcoming, diverse (thanks to all the city kids and professors) and there’s so many fun things to do!! It’s also just 90 minutes away from the city. 

I’ve officially moved in and will be renovating this a-frame beauty built in the early 70’s. There is SO much work to do. The home has solid bones but needs major updates and I have to condition the land. We even have a cute pond! Very scary and very exciting. Eventually, I may open it up for retreats or for people who want to disconnect from the NYC chaos. For now, it’ll be home. Follow along for renovation updates on @bohiohomes 💕💕
    THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’ THIS ONE SIMPLE HABIT TIP CHANGED MY LIFE. What’s one thing you already do that you can build a habit around?! 

Ps have you been listening to our habits series
