Cauliflower Fried Rice

Fried rice was our go-to take-out order, no question. But once we discovered how to make a better-for-you version at home, we X-ed out of Seamless and pulled out a frying pan. This fried "rice" is actually teeny pieces of cauliflower, chopped finely in the food processor. Here's how to do it: Pile lots of veg in a pan and sauté, scramble in an egg for flavor, and drizzle on your favorite sauce (we're all about ginger-garlic!). Now we save ordering out for the really tricky recipes.
