    Easy, Healthy, Cod Fried-Rice Recipe

    Cod is one of the healthiest foods in the world, making it with fried rice is an interesting application you can feel good about. Pescovegetarians live longer than any other category of person. Healthier than vegetarians, everything. There is something special in lean fish. Especially the bigger ones that are high in good omega fatty acids. Cod is one of these, really healthy varieties of fish.

    The Health Benefits of Cod

    Cod is one of those common fish we look to be on sale. It's flaky, lean, high in protein, and has non of the things I don't want. It is perfect for someone like me trying to get enough protein with none of the bad stuff. According to this safebeat.org article, it may actually lower my triglycerides and the slightly high cholesterol I hear about from my doctor every year at my physical. It is easy to find and easy to cook.

    Using a low glycemic rice

    I always go for rice that converts to blood sugar more slowly. We have a basic guide to picking the best rices, as it is something we have to do all the time which I will post a link to below. You can basically do well by avoiding cheap, white rice, and or sticky rice. Go for longer grains, and surprisingly, white basmati is really low glycemic and healthy.

    Fried Rice

    I am using the basic Thai template for fried rice. Of course, you want to go for a healthier oil like canola, to go with the healthier rice. You just want to be careful not to overcook the cod as it is somewhat delicate. You will find links for the basics of Thai fried rice after the recipe.

    Notes

    As always, when in doubt check it out if you have nutrition and or special health concerns.  Your situation is fact dependant so you will want a specialist to help if you have any concerns.  Another phrase I like that's easy to remember is, when in doubt throw it out if you have any concerns about any of the ingredients.  We make our healthy Thai recipes as healthy as we can.  We are not nutritionists, or doctors though and your situation is unique so please be safe.   Don't eat fish too often to avoid mercury poisoning.
