Make your own cauliflower rice:
Nowadays it is so easy to get cauliflower rice in packs in your favorite grocery store but if you are like me or prefer to save a few cents by making it yourself, it’s easy!

Also, if you’re planning to make this ahead of time, you can prepare everything in advance and be totally good to go with a toss in the skillet or microwave oven to reheat the fried rice.
