Cauliflower Kimchi Fried Rice
Let’s take your favorite kimchi and use it as the finishing touch to this yummy fried rice that is surprisingly, mostly riced cauliflower. Let’s consider why using riced cauliflower instead of traditional rice holds superior benefits. The higher fiber content aids in digestion, it’s rich in vitamins and minerals, and antioxidants will help fight inflammation and oxidative stress in the body. The texture is similar so let’s add in some complementary veggies along with a small amount of rice for those picky eaters and finish this off with your pick of kimchi because we are all in tune with the probiotic benefits kimchi offers.
