Thanks for the recipe Tim. This works well for before surgery. I don't use a lot of rice, the rice has too many carbohydrates for my diabetes. After surgery, we need to limit carbohydrates, there is not enough room in our pouches for both protein and carbohydrates. Many of us avoid things like rice that can continue to puff up after we eat it. This can cause uncomfortable feelings for our pouches.

Be careful for adding extra salt to foods. The salt can cause us to retain extra fluids, especially in our feet and ankles. Adding the onion salt, garlic salt and other salt increases the sodium. Consider adding extra garlic, onion instead of the salts for more flavor. Keep on cooking, glad to see your efforts.

ahh well ive heard of ppl who have rice after surgury to so i didint know sorry about that but ya i didint even think of the salts when i was lookin at it but after me and mom tasted it we were like well a littile to much lol but was good lol

Tim, some post wls folks do use rice, even if they shouldn't. Brown rice is acceptable occassionally in small amounts, but an even better choice is Quinoa! It acts and tastes much like rice, only it is packed with protein and complete protein at that! Thanks for sharing the recipe. Try using quinoa instead of rice. You may be suprised!
