Cauliflower Fried Rice

It's been a minute since I've shared a recipe.  But I'm here today sharing a great side dish….Cauliflower Fried Rice.  We love Asian food and I wanted to lighten up one of my favorite rice dishes so I could eat more carbs in other ways than rice (I'm looking at you popcorn and graham crackers).  Cauliflower rice is a great substitute for regular steamed rice. When it's mixed with other ingredients, it's just as good as regular rice in my book.  You can also stir in some steamed rice with this too. Since my kids will eat bowls and bowls of steamed rice, so I usually cook that up – and make cauliflower rice too.  Winning for everyone!

This pairs well with grilled chicken, pork, or whatever other protein you'd like.

Enjoy!
