Recipe: Local Style Fried Rice with Cauliflower

Learn how to make your favorite fried rice with a healthier twist – by using cauliflower to supplement the starchy rice. Did you know that if you grate (or chop) cauliflower while it is still raw then cook, it resembles the texture of rice? Doing this transforms your local fried rice into a dish with less calories, less carbs, more fiber and more nutrition, as cauliflower is one of the healthiest cruciferous vegetables. This dish was presented by Kimberly Oshita, a vegan Registered Dietitian from our Sponsor, Kaiser Permanente, in our Learning Kitchen 2019. Read Kim’s bio HERE.
