Cauliflower Fried Rice

Does anyone know if you can Rice the cauliflower in the vitamin and let it sit in the refrigerator for a few days before cooking? Like if I prep on a Sunday and want to cook it later in the week on Wednesday? Not sure how long I have before using it.
You absolutely can do that! It will stay for a couple days assuming it’s covered. We do this with our detox salad, too. These are the best food containers for this type of thing
Made it, it was delicious….but using the vitamix for the cauliflower didn’t work for me…first i tried it just like the video (watched it 3 times first) and none of the cauliflower broke down, so then i used the wet method and it made it too small and mushy while still having florets as well..next time i will use the food processor its way easier and makes it perfectly. I dried the cauliflower the best i could for a week with papertowels in the fridge before using. The smallness i think was the biggest issue and it was mushy in the fry, but still good, it’s still going to all get eaten. It was super easy to make something so healthy with items on hand, thank you.
Easiest chopping in my vitamix:
fill container with cauli chunks.
Fill with water to above the chunks. Leave a bit of space at the top.
Run, gradually increasing speed, but not too much.
The cauli will break down into rice sized pieces. Run until the “rice” is the size you like. No tamping, no extra cycles (unless you have a huge cauliflower or are cooking for dozens…). Don’t over blend. Better to check a couple of times for “rice” size and run again if needed. Strain the cauli from the water. And there you have it.Thanks Mary. Yeah, that’s a wet chop technique.
With most vegetables, that’s the best approach. Quickest and fewest amount of batches required. With the dry cop, you’ll have to do four or five chopping sessions (as you can see in the video).
i would try that recipe …..
You mean you should try that recipe? 🙂

As a calorie counter, this is an excellent recipe to eat when you are feeling really hungry and getting impatient for a cheat day. So much food! I’m pumped for the egg drop recipe!Def. This is THE non-cheat-day way to stuff your face.
That looks really good! Any hints on how to chop cauliflower in the Vitamix? That’s the one food I’ve never had any luck with chopping. I can’t seem to get uniformly-sized pieces.
Yeah, I probably should dedicate a whole post to that question.
Been asked a lot.
Basically, start with tennis ball-sized chunks of cauliflower. Big enough so they don’t rest below the blades. But not too big where they can’t move around.
Fill the container half-way or less. Expect to run a few half-full cycles.
Get the tamper. Just putting it in while it’s running makes it all distribute evenly.
Run on variable speed 1. Use the tamper to push stuff on sides down. Stop after 5 seconds or so.
Majority of the cauliflower will be perfectly chopped. Dump everything in a bowl and pick out any large pieces.
Repeat from the beginning placing any hand-picked pieces at the top of the next batch.
Let me know how that works. 🙂
