Cauliflower “Fried Rice”
Don’t get me wrong, I love traditional Fried Rice made with leftover rice, but when I want a lower carb version this Cauliflower Rice is perfect! I posted this Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice recipe a while back, and it was a huge hit. So I decided to play around with that recipe and make this Asian version to go with these Shrimp Egg Rolls, and my husband (who detests cauliflower) was pretty amazed how the meal turned out. The portions are generous and you get a serving or two of vegetables into your diet.
I LOVE fried rice, and often make my own fried rice at home with brown rice like this Edamame Fried Rice and this Spicy Shrimp Fried Rice. But sometimes when I want to cut down on my carbs, I swap out the rice for cauliflower to make this low-carb cauliflower fried rice. A keto, gluten-free and whole30 compliant recipe.
How do you make cauliflower into rice?
It’s simple! You cut the cauliflower into florets, then place a few pieces at a time in the food processor and pulse a few times until it resembles rice. You don’t want to put too much in the food processor as it will over-process it. Cauliflower rice is also now available pre-cut and bagged in the produce section as well as frozen, but my preference is to make it myself as it tastes better than frozen, and often the pre-cut fresh variety spoils fast.
