But really…..how could cauliflower taste just like my beloved fried rice? 

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.

  1. Lady,,,,,, This was awesome!!!!!!!!! I was a bit apprehensive about this meal because I am a hard core fried rice person. However… when I was done making this meal, I kept saying ” I cant believe this” over and over and over. It is sooooooooooo good. Honestly,,, I dont see my self wasting all that time and effort again with rice. Moreover,,,, This is much healthier!!! Hello??? My kids cant even tell it is not rice. Ha ha ha… Eating a full bowl of veggies?? Awesome… Doing the happy mummy dance….
    I added slices of hardwood smoked bacon to mine and it was foodgarsmic!!! Thanks for the recipe!!

    I just made this and it is good. I don’t think it tastes like fried rice that I make with rice, but it definitely tastes asian and good flavor. I’ll be using this recipe for sure because I LOVE fried rice and this is close enough without all the white rice carbs.
