the swaps that make it work
Vegetable oil + store-bought broth
→ Extra-virgin olive oil + homemade Chicken Bone Broth
Olive oil is heart-protective, and bone broth provides collagen for bone density and joint health. Homemade broth is lower in sodium than most store-bought versions.
Fish sauce
→ Coconut aminos or tamari (low-sodium)
Reduces sodium while keeping savory depth. Fish sauce can trigger hot flashes in some women due to high sodium and potential histamine content.
White rice alone
→ White rice + pearl barley (optional blend)
Added barley boosts soluble fiber, which steadies blood sugar and supports heart health. Still keeps the porridge smooth and authentic.
Fried shallots and crispy fried onions
→ Fresh cilantro and ginger slices
Eliminates trans fats and excess salt while adding fresh flavor and ginger's natural anti-inflammatory compounds.
