I’ve converted this simple chicken & vegetable egg fried rice to include all vegetables. Yes, no starch here! The new craze is cauliflower; an excellent source of vitamin C, vitamin K, folate, pantothenic acid, and vitamin B6, choline, dietary fiber, omega-3 fatty acids, manganese, phosphorus, and biotin. Additionally, it is a good source of vitamin B2, protein, vitamin B1, niacin, and magnesium. What an eyeful!

For this dish I’ve turned conventional rice into cauliflower rice. All it takes is a few pulses in the food processor or 2 minutes with a cheese grater—use the largest holes. While there is a slight difference in taste, I have to say; not by much. I barely missed the starchy white stuff. You can also add snow peas, corn, red onion and sliced ginger for a variety. Top with a few drops of Sriracha sauce, a side of Kimchi, sliced vegetables and fruit and you have a remarkable delicious dinner in about 15 minutes! 4 servings
