Coconut Seafood Fried Rice

Why people make this dish

This coconut seafood rice is a creative and fragrant dish that makes for a fun and nutritious meal. Coconut water (from mature coconuts, not young green coconuts) is considered neutral in Chinese food tradition, unlike young coconut water which tends to be cool and is not ideal for people with cold constitutions. Regular consumption of coconut is traditionally said to support healthy hair pigmentation, and its good levels of magnesium and potassium make it helpful for those with sensitive digestive systems. Combined with fresh seafood — prawns, squid, and small oysters — and the tropical sweetness of pineapple, this dish is nourishing, colourful, and genuinely easy to make.

    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
