Cauliflower Fried Rice with Chicken and Sausage

This recipe is for anyone who wants a new take on how cook riced vegetables. A 12 oz bag of frozen cauliflower rice was enough for two hearty eaters (us) when protein was added to the dish. We found out that Cauliflower Fried Rice with Chicken and Sausage is a satisfying and delicious meal. Now, we’d like to share the recipe with you. Enjoy!

Who would’ve thought that I’d be cooking Cauliflower Rice on a regular basis.  I’m a Filipino, we eat rice and lots of it.  In truth,  I can’t be around my motherland’s staple of delicious pillowy grains all the time.  Rice turns me into a monster (like Cookie monster) – nom, nom, nom, nom – opaque granules flying everywhere with each bite.  Sure, the last part was a bit of an exaggeration but still, I love that good stuff.

Frozen or not?

Our food processor worked overtime when we initially made the switch to Cauliflower Rice.  Though it’s still best to use fresh ingredients, I find that time and cleanup was just too inconvenient.  We realized that frozen packs from the grocery store are fairly cheap as long as we didin’t eat the riced vegetable on a daily basis.

My Tita, tired of eating plain granulated cauliflower, asked me to write a recipe using Cauliflower Rice. I get it. Most Filipinos that need to be mindful of their sugar/carb count still want the experience of eating rice with their Filipino Food. Unfortunately, the taste between the grain and the vegetable is like night and day.  It simply is not satisfying for us when we tried to mimic a Filipino meal with plain riced cauliflower.
