I’ll be honest, this is probably the least authentic fried rice you’ll ever have. That being said, it's still delicious (and healthy) and you should definitely make it ASAP.
Best of all, it comes together incredibly quickly, cooking for less than 15 minutes. This makes it a clear weeknight winner in my house.
I subbed regular rice for cauliflower rice, which I absolutely love. It's really easy to make yourself, either with a box grater or a food processor. Or if you’re lazy like me, you can pick up a bag of pre-riced cauliflower in the freezer section of your grocery store.
I also didn’t have any eggs lying around when I made this, but you could easily add an egg toward the end of cooking to make it slightly more traditional.
Enjoy!
