Cauliflower Fried Rice

This recipe is a great go-to dinner option and lighter, healthier alternative to your classic fried rice. We’ve used cauliflower instead of rice as the base for this dish it's low energy, high nutrition, and super quick and easy to prepare. Cauliflower is high in antioxidants and is a good source of Vitamins C, K, B6, Folate, Pantothenic acid, Potassium and Manganese. We’re using tofu for the main protein source. As well as being a great vegetarian protein option, tofu is a good source of calcium and iron.

We’ve included some of our Vegetable Broth too. It’s a great source of your B vitamins and zinc, and ads an extra dimension of deliciousness. Kimchi is also the perfect addition, as the sour and spicy flavours of kimchi contrast the rich, sweet and earthy flavours of the rest of the dish.

Overall, this combination of healthy delicious vegetables ticks all the boxes for a go-to dinner favourite. It’s super nourishing, easy to make, so much awesome flavour and not too much cleaning up! Enjoy!
