But really…..how could cauliflower taste just like my beloved fried rice?Â
I am happy to report that this Cauliflower Fried Rice taste absolutely like fried rice!!! Both my girls are a big fan of fried rice. They didn’t blink an eye when I put a bowl of this cauliflower fried rice in front of them.  Little D ate her whole bowl and asked for more! Have fun mixing in your favorite vegetables and proteins. My favorite so far has been to add in some eggs and egg whites and a ton of veg.

I gave this a go tonight and it was quite tasty! I started with frozen cauliflower as that was all I had lying around, which made it a bit too moist to pass as rice, but my husband still had no idea what he was eating until I told him after he’d cleaned his plate. Sneak attack! I marinated some tofu in soy sauce, lime juice, and sesame oil, baked it, and tossed it on top of the cauliflower stir fry. I’ll definitely make this again.
Oh my gosh… I LOVE the sneak attack! Bahaha. So awesome!!!
We are low carbers and I’m always on the lookout for new recipes. I had a rotisserie chicken with no inspiration and this hit the spot. The whole family loved it! Thank you!
Excellent! Thank you for sharing Sandy!
Do you grate just the florets or the whole head?
I do the whole head 🙂
I made this last night and my husband scarfed it down! He loves my home made fried rice and didn’t even notice a difference. he was like “honey, the doctor wants me to do a low-carb diet. i ate too much” i go “it’s not even made out of rice!” he couldn’t believe it! He’s such a picky eater. I’m soo glad there’s something I can work out to get him to do better.
OMG this is so good. Bye bye white rice. I just made this. It tastes so good. I just chopped up cauliflower into little bite size, and microwaved it for 2 minutes covered. Put a frying pan on the stove add olive oil, onions and diced tomatoes. let it cook for 3 minutes. Add my curry , a pinch of nutmeg and half a cube of maggi bouillon cube. salt to taste. Finally add the chopped cauliflower. Taste very good!
