Best Ever Cauli-Fried Rice

Best Ever Cauli-Fried Rice

This cauli-fried rice is warm, flavorful comfort food... at it's healthy best.

It works for the times when you miss greasy Vietnamese takeout or those magical Chinese buffets, where, even though you ate too much, you were still somehow hungry again an hour or two after.

So here's to a yummy "fried rice" that's pretty darn close to the real thing, except that instead of being laced with MSG, refined fats/sugars, or nasty food chemicals it's packed with healthy nutrients — vitamins C, K, B5, B6, B7, B9, choline, fiber, omega-3 fats, manganese, and phosphorus, to name a few just in the cauliflower.   ;)
