Here comes a quick recipe for cauliflower fried rice!
Cauliflower has long had a somewhat dusty image. It is and was the vegetable that, along with broccoli, made the corners of many people's mouths drop. Fortunately, the white cabbage vegetable is celebrating a revival.
Cauliflower rice is a trend that you should also bet on. It is a great alternative to conventional rice. In addition, rice from cauliflower provides a lot of nutrients and very few calories.
Thus, 100 grams of cooked rice come to 130 calories. Cauliflower rice, however, just 23 calories. Wonderful for those who want to lose weight or expand their diet with healthy fiber.

The purchase of a food processor is worthwhile, by the way. Then your rice will be uniformly small. You can use a food processor with a vegetable attachment.
A smoothie maker is also suitable for shredding cauliflower, here you just must not press the button too long. Otherwise you get soup or smoothie instead of rice grains :)
But you can also chop it with a sharp knife. For a first taste that should be enough :)

How to freeze cauliflower rice
Cauliflower is great for freezing! I'm sure the Meal Preper will be happy to hear that. When you freeze it, it's best to do it raw.
The cauliflower is chopped and portioned for this, but not fried. Put it in freezer boxes or freezer bags. When you're hungry, thaw it and fry it fresh with vegetables.
And do you still have too much cauliflower, you can even make a juicy chocolate cake out of it :)
Would you have guessed that cake made from cauliflower could be so delicious?
You can easily prepare the rice and take it with you. Whether to work, to the university or to the park. It tastes just as good lukewarm as hot or cold.
If you're wondering how cauliflower rice tastes: don't worry, it hardly tastes like cauliflower. Because it's fried, it loses much of its typical flavor. Or in other words, cauliflower rice doesn't taste as bad as cabbage as you might think. :)
Our conclusion
Cauliflower rice is a healthy alternative to regular rice. If you swap rice for cabbage, you won't notice a huge difference in taste. But you're taking in healthy nutrients with every bite. And a lot less calories at the same time. :)
