How to Make Cauliflower Fried “Rice”
Finely chopped cauliflower can be a remarkable nonstarchy side that’s lower in calories and carbohydrate than rice. Or make it a main dish by adding chicken breast, shrimp or tofu. To make this recipe even easier, start with packaged “riced” cauliflower that can be found fresh or frozen in many grocery stores.
