I grew up eating ton load of cauliflower in different forms. Curries, stir fry, fritters or pickle, this vegetable was cooked at least once a week. However, I never had Cauliflower Fried Rice and even though it’s been a food trend for several years now, it’s only this week that I gave it a go! This Mushroom Chicken Spiced Cauliflower Rice was our dinner yesterday. I was quite thrilled about how quickly the meal came together and it was delicious.
New to Cauliflower Fried Rice?
Well, me too! Although I am pretty sure it will happen very frequently from now on. Of course, the key is to buy good quality cauliflower. You could either use a food processor or a grater. I used the big holes to grate because I wanted the texture to be crunchy. You don’t have to boil the grated cauliflower or add any water while cooking the dish. You can add a little bit of stock for flavor but avoid adding too much or else, it will get mushy.
When it comes to fried rice, I like it spicy and so, I went with a quick spicy sauce. There was some left-over roasted chicken that went in along with some button mushrooms. All these together along with a boatload of garlic, the taste was delicious and we went for second servings without any guilt.
4 ingredients sauce:
- Sambal Onek Chili Sauce
- Dark Soya Sauce
- Fresh Lemon Juice
- Freshly Cracked Black Pepper
Being a Bengali, my taste buds crave for rice quite frequently. This month, I am trying to cut down on my carb as much as possible and hence, the urge to try cauliflower rice. It took me by surprise on how amazing the texture came out. I will not say that it tastes like rice but it sure does taste pretty delicious and works like a perfect blank canvas for different flavors.
