Notes
Tips for making cauliflower rice.I'm going to give you my favorite cheater way to make cauliflower rice. BUY IT FROZEN.
Cook it from frozen - DO NOT thaw cauliflower rice before you try to cook it. Trust me; if you do, you will end up with mush.
Do NOT add any oil/ cooking fat to your pan - Cook the cauliflower rice dry without any added fat to the pan. If you want to add some flavor with fat, add it once the cauliflower rice has cooked.
Cook it over HIGH heat - This might sound weird to say. Still, I find cooking the cauliflower rice over medium-high heat helps not only for the water in frozen cauliflower to evaporate faster but also adds a nice little crisp bite that is more reminiscent of rice.
Serve it right away - Cauliflower rice is like broccoli; it cools off quickly, and nobody wants cold cauliflower.
