One of our many guilty pleasures is Chinese take out. We order from our favorite take out place at least once a month for our fix and always get a pint or two of fried rice. Whenever we get this as take out we always get it as a side but a few months back we decided to try to make this at home but…. healthy.

Cauliflower has been the biggest blow up of the last decade. Cauliflower tots, buffalo wings, steaks, rice, this list is endless really. So we thought it was the perfect veggie to make in this recipe to cut the carbs and keep the flavor. The best part, you cannot even tell this isn’t rice. I promise you. I know people say that but this is uncanny. Maybe it’s the flavor and the texture mixed in that mimics your favorite take out spot so well. Whatever the case is, I am amazed.

Make sure to cook the pork thoroughly and chop the veggies before hand. Once you start heating both oils in the pan this recipe goes quick! We typically cook the pork first, dice it up and put it in small dishes off to the side. The same goes for the veggies. Measure out the butter too. It makes cooking this recipe so much easier.

From our kitchen to yours, cheers!
