Healthy Thai Fried Rice
Healthy Thai Fried Rice
"Cauliflower is a wonderful vegetable with great versatility. It can be made into a soup, a main dish, and even a side dish. It can also stand as the main ingredient and a healthy substitute ingredient for rice. Cauliflower is a cruciferous vegetable that is naturally high in fiber and B-vitamins. This light and healthy Thai-inspired fried rice can be mixed with carrots and potatoes to add more nutritional content. You can also spice this up by adding some chili flakes or even a good teaspoon of cayenne pepper. You can also add some fresh spinach or other leafy greens."
