Cut the carbs from your diet with this classic dish with a twist!
Most people think a carb-free diet is really difficult, because that limits your options drastically. However, that’s not the case. Now, more than ever, there are tons of options that can substitute items like rice, bread, spaghetti, and much more. You can use the items just like you would prepare any carb and have an equally delicious meal! This super easy cauliflower fried rice is a great example of that.
Instead of using rice, you can use cauliflower “rice” and eliminate all those carbohydrates from rice that give you a bloated feeling after eating a meal such as fried rice. It is made just like you would make Asian-style fried rice and tastes just as good. You won’t even know you are missing out on the rice! Simply, pan-fry mixed veggies along with the seasoning, including red pepper flakes, black pepper, and soy sauce. Clean up your diet with this simple and healthy recipe!

This sounds really yummy. I usually add a lightly scrambled egg at the end of cooking. Would this and/ or a little cooked chicken work in this recipe to add protein for a main-dish meal?
Lynn, Definitley! Sounds yummy.
