Fried Rice Cauli

Fried Rice! Chinese food is one of those splurges you thought you'd have to give up in order to lose weight, NOPE! We've slimmed down traditional fried rice by swapping out carb heavy white rice for riced cauliflower. If cauliflower was a superhero her power would versatility, who knew you could turn cauliflower into rice, a crust for topping with anything, and breadsticks!

Braggs Liquid Aminos (picture below) is the second secret weapon in this clever recipe. Braggs is a must have in your kitchen, it adds a salty kick, and is the perfect, natural, soy sauce alternative (tip: a little dab will do, it's strong, so go easy).
