Cauliflower Fried Rice

Do you have a Chinese food addiction like I do? I could seriously eat it everyday. Thanks to this recipe, now you can!

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.

    This is a great meal! Delicious! It works!!! My girls ate it all up!!! And they are quite fussy, despite me being a food lover. Honestly i don’t understand what i have done to deserve 2 such tricky eaters… The only downside i would say is that the cauliflower does stink up the house. i’d say cook briefly and serve immediately – not let the girls eat it at 17:30 and reheat at 20:00 for the adults – overcooked cauliflower smells!! 🙂

  4. Cant wait to try this tonight, as im on a diet im going to try it with fry light rather than olive oil as this will be a free meal for me as far as my points our concerned. Has anyone tried it using fry light?xx
