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. I tried this last night and LOVED it! I can’t tell a difference in texture. I added mixed stir fry veggies and shrimp…I made a huge batch and wanted to eat it all!

    Hi Corey,

    I just wanted to thank you for this terrific recipe. We just finished dinner and my kitchen is a mess but I wanted to comment before I got involved in my evening routine. I used a cheese grater to make the cauliflower rice yesterday and froze it just in case I didn’t get to the recipe today. Fortunately, I was able to make this today and with my frozen cauliflower rice on hand it was super easy to throw together. This was terrific and my very picky 10 year old devoured it. If you don’t mind, I would love to share this recipe on my site?

    Best,
    Tennille
