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 was brilliant! I can’t have Soy Sauce so I substituted some kosher salt and ground black pepper. It turned out brilliantly! It still tasted like fried rice. Thank you so much! I’ll be making this again soon!
