Healthy Cauliflower Stir-Fried Rice is a lighter version of traditional Chinese fried rice, with cauliflower rice replacing ordinary rice to cut calories and carbs. It is stir-fried with vegetables such as onions, carrots, peas, and garlic and is usually seasoned with soy sauce, ginger, and, on occasion, eggs or lean protein. This recipe retains the flavourful and umami-rich characteristics of traditional Chinese fried rice while providing a healthier, lower-carb option, making it a popular choice for those looking for a nutritious, vegetable-packed supper.
