Fried "rice" with a hidden vegetable
The first time I tried this "rice" I couldn't believe it. So I tried it again and tested it on some friends. Yep. Still good. and you would never guess it was made with CAULIFLOWER (?!)
I know...you're probably thinking "ew!" but please trust me and try it. If I just made you take a bite and told you it was fried rice you would never know. This would be great for kids when you need to sneak in some more veggies in their diet! Or for when you're having one of those nights where you want to eat the entire bowl of rice by yourself- and you can cause it's just cauliflower! And cauliflower is extremely good for you so go ahead and eat that entire bowl, I dare you. Then I'll high five you, for health and stuff.
This goes great with chinese dishes or is even delicuous on it's own with some shrimp or chicken (organic of course!)
