Is Hinode Special Fried Rice gluten-free?

Yes. The pack is labeled gluten-free, which matters because soy sauce in fried rice usually contains wheat. Check the label on your pack if you are highly sensitive.

How do you cook the cups?

Peel back the lid slightly and microwave for roughly 60 to 90 seconds, then fluff with a fork. Times vary by wattage, so start short and add time.

Not really. At 4 g protein and about 200 calories, it is a side. Add eggs, chicken or tofu to make it a meal.

How much sodium is in a cup?

500 mg per cup, about 22% of the 2,300 mg daily limit. If you watch salt, use one cup with unsalted protein and vegetables.

Do the cups need refrigeration?

No, they are shelf-stable until opened. Store them in a cupboard and refrigerate leftovers.

Rice cups tend to drop during supermarket multi-buy promotions and back-to-school sales. Compare the per-cup price across stores rather than the pack price.

Our take on the Hinode Special Fried Rice Cups

Hinode Special Fried Rice Cups are single-serve microwave rice cups, 125 g each, sold in a two-pack. They are gluten-free and seasoned to taste like special fried rice, with 4 g protein and 500 mg sodium per cup. Each cup has 36 g carbs and 5 g fat, so it works as a quick side rather than a full meal.
