“FRIED” CAULIFLOWER RICE

Fried Cauliflower Rice

We all have those crazy days when there doesn’t seem to be enough time for anything, let alone cooking. In times like these, try cauliflower rice instead of calling for take out. It is readily available in many grocery stores and cooks in minutes. With cauliflower’s mild taste, it also easily assumes any flavor of choice! Not only that, cauliflower rice has the same look and feel as regular white rice –  making it a great healthy substitution while still satisfying that craving for a giant bowl of white rice. Oh, is that only me?

I was raised primarily on a Chinese food diet with white rice featured in every dinner. What do you do with all that leftover rice? Make fried egg rice for breakfast! This recipe is based on this simple breakfast option that was one of my absolute favorite things to eat as a child. Now I make it for any  meal of the day – often dinner when I have no time for anything else. Instead of using white rice, I use cauliflower rice making it a much healthier choice while still retaining all the yumminess. I also add ginger, scallions, garlic and kale to make it super special, but if you’re really in a hurry, it would also taste great with just egg, cauliflower rice and sea salt. Consider these three ingredients as a blank canvas and add any veggies and aromatics that make you smile. Put the phone down and give it a try!

Other recipes to try with cauliflower rice include my Cauliflower Rice Veggie Stir Fry and Cauliflower Rice Pizza.
