Always a Great Meal

I made this egg fried cauli  rice recipe for lunch today and found it quick and easy. This pan-fried cauliflower rice is delicious and you can add anything you like in there. I just used green onion, mushrooms, soy sauce, egg and a dash of sesame oil along with the cauli rice but you may add anything else in there.

Perhaps you have some leftover cooked chicken or shrimp to use up, in which case throw them in and warm them up for a couple of minutes. Did you open a can of corn kernels or peas yesterday? Add a spoonful of those into the cauli-rice mix if you want.

Quick and Easy Egg Fried Cauli  Rice Recipe

This egg fried cauli  rice recipe only takes a few minutes to cook and it’s best if you keep the mixture moving with a wooden spoon or silicon spatula so it cooks evenly.

I recommend you choose your largest wok or skillet, not only so it’s easier to move the ingredients around, but also so you can push everything up the sides and break the egg into the center of the pan and then cook that, before pulling everything else down the sides of the wok and mixing it all together to make the most amazing egg fried cauli  rice recipe ever.
