Traditional Cauliflower Fried Rice, never in my imagination that I had ever thought of replacing rice in this traditional and famous Chinese recipe with a different ingredient.

But what made me to change my mind?  It was not because of the trend that everybody makes so many things with cauliflower, but carbs makes me tired.  I need my energy to be on top of the game everyday.

Traditional Cauliflower Fried Rice-Everything this recipe is Chinese traditional way, but the rice.

Ask my 8-year-old, “What is your mom’s favorite food?”  “Rice, pasta and noodles”. Yep, I love carbs.  Rice, noodles and pasta are my all time favorite.  However, as I get older, I get tired easily after eating carbs.  With a full-time job, a kid with a very packed schedule and try to run my own business, I can’t sleep my time away.  So, any solution?  Well, with a lot of reluctance, I finally gave in to try this recipe.

But why did I call “traditional”?  Because I use traditional Chinese fried rice cooking method and seasonings to cook it.  Everything in this recipe is traditional, except the rice.  I didn't use as much oil as the traditional dish either. 

Stick to everything traditional will guarantee that I will NOT sacrifice the taste and texture just because I changed the main ingredient to cauliflower rice.

Viola!  Little did I expect that it came out exactly how the traditional Chinese fried rice tastes.  Even the texture, too.  I am super happy.

Please feel free to double, triple or even quadruple the quantity.  The rule of thumb is 1 bag of frozen cauliflower rice vs 1 egg.  So, if you use 4 bags of frozen cauliflower rice, add 4 eggs. 

The traditional recipe is the base of many Chinese dishes. We also serve it as a side dish.  So, treat this recipe as the traditional one which will open up a lot of options for you.

Ok, I know you are itching to ask me this question, “Do I still crave for my carbs fix?”  Not as much.  However, I must admit that a traditional Chinese recipe always makes me feel like home.  Enjoy!
