Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Have you jumped on the Cauliflower craze yet?  

We try to eat low carb as much as possible… although I do have to admit we fail occasionally… it’s always epic.

But cauliflower makes low-carb easy to stick with. I’ll usually make Loaded Cauliflower Mash, Cauliflower Steaks, or even just good ol’ fashioned roasted cauliflower as a side dish at dinner. But, I was looking for a little something extra for our family’s frequent craving for Asian food…

 

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Enter Cauliflower Fried Rice!  

This dish is easy to prepare with simple ingredients and a no-fuss prep. Shredding the cauliflower in a food processor takes no time at all and the resemblance to rice is uncanny.
