Keto Fried Rice with Japanese Shrimp Sauce!

I love this Keto Fried Rice recipe all by itself, but I love it, even more, when I drizzle a little keto shrimp sauce right over the top. So this post is actually a 2 for 1 kind of deal, you’ll find both recipes, Keto Fried Rice and Keto Shrimp Sauce (both 5-ingredients) below, and just to be completely open and honest - when I said I “drizzled a little” shrimp sauce on top, smothered may have been a more fitting description.

I love to serve some chicken thighs marinated in tamari and swerve right on top but feel free to pair this with your favorite Asian inspired protein, or just have it by itself. It’s delicious either way.  My favorite part of this recipe (and every fried rice recipe for that matter) is the egg.

Back in my college days, I was known to make fried rice omelets with leftover fried rice from the Japanese place across from campus. That recipe is in no way shape or form keto, but just FYI it is an extraordinarily effective hangover cure. 😉

Anyway, I hope you try both of these 5-ingredient recipes and love them as much as I do. Side dishes like this are really the cornerstone of keeping keto fun and sustainable.  

I read articles on a daily basis from some nutrition expert claiming keto is dangerous and unsustainable. Neither of those statements are true. Being able to add a side dish like this that is packed with veggies into your diet is what adds variety and makes it sustainable. As for the claim that keto is dangerous, keep in mind these are the same people writing and ranking diets from best to worst and have ranked keto less healthy for you than the SlimFast Diet...
