Do you love fried rice? Have you ever craved the taste of fried rice but with less carbs? Then its time to try cauliflower fried rice! Even if your not a big fan of cauliflower as I used to be, cauliflower has a such a barely noticeable flavor that its become a perfect substitute for rice along with quinoa for many recipes besides fried rice. Homemade fried rice is one of my favorite occasional comfort takeout recipes and this recipe is a modified version of my already very delicious shrimp fried rice recipe. The best part is that cauliflower rice is very easy to make since you just need a high powered blender or food processor. If you don't want to minced the cauliflower yourself and are pressed for time, frozen microwaveable cauliflower rice is a good option also! The next time you're in the mood for fried rice and have some cauliflower on hand, why not try this recipe?
