Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your cauliflower is finely riced, similar in size to grains of rice.
  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers, broccoli florets, or edamame.
  • For a protein boost, add cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
  • Adjust soy sauce to your preference.
