This recipe is for cauliflower fried rice, or I should say fried rice without rice is delicious. It is full of flavor, vegan protein, and it is very easy to prepare.
I do not know if you’ve seen that cauliflower rice is super trendy, well it’s not really rice. The truth is it’s just a way to make cauliflower. That is the beauty of cauliflower, not only does it have millions of benefits, but it is also a super flexible vegetable, and it adapts to millions of dishes.
It tastes delicious in soups, roasted, raw, etc. I love cauliflower and always prepare it in a thousand different ways.
My children also like it a lot and never complain when we have it for dinner. So this recipe is 100% kid-friendly.
A few years ago, when I tried to make it for the first time, it did not look or tasted this good, but I kept trying until I nailed the process. And with practice, I realized several mistakes I had made in the past. Let me share my mistakes with you.
Do not do the same mistakes I made:
- Like adding too much cauliflower in the food processor. What happens when you overfill the bowl of the food processor is that some cauliflower chunks turn into a paste and the rest stay intact.
- The SOLUTION is to cut the cauliflower into equal pieces and add them little by little to the processor bowl. Pulse several times and double-check that all of the pieces are getting ground. You don’t want giant pieces fluttering around. If there are some, take them out.
- My mistake # 2 was that I prepared it like steamed rice. It doesn’t taste good like that, to make delicious cauliflower rice, it is best if you add some aromatics while it cooks. Add garlic, onion, salt, herbs, olive oil, and make it taste good. But the truth is that my favorite recipe for this is still this fried cauliflower rice.
- My third mistake was that the texture wasn’t always right, sometimes it was like beaten rice instead of being delicious and with a normal rice texture. My solution was to use a larger pan, so more cauliflower touches the hot surface of the pan.
It may sound confusing, but the truth is that it’s quick and easy, just learn from my mistakes. I’m sure that you will be blown away by this delicious dinner full of superpowers and full of vegetables of all the colors of the rainbow.
