Notes

My Top Tips for Cauliflower Pork Fried Rice:
  1. Don’t over-process the cauliflower – Pulse in the food processor just until it resembles rice; overdoing it can turn it mushy.
  2. Use pre-cooked or leftover pork chops – It’s a great way to save time and add flavor without extra prep.
  3. Scramble the eggs separately – For the best texture, cook the beaten eggs before mixing them into the stir fry.
