How Many Weight Watchers Points in Cauliflower Fried Rice?
If you make this recipe exactly as written the Weight Watchers Points are 4. If you remove the butter, use cooking spray instead it is 2 points. You can make it even less points by removing the Sesame Oil. I like to keep it because I like the flavor it gives the rice. It gives it a more authentic flavor. If you want to make this a 0 point dish, remove the oil and it becomes 0 points.
Cauliflower Fried Rice with Chicken
Add cooked chicken breast, diced cooked pork, diced shrimp or any other protein you like. This rounds out the meal and creates a filling recipe whether you are eating keto or WW.
Equipment for Cauliflower Fried Rice
Wok: While it is not necessary to have a wok for this recipe, it is helpful. It is because of how a wok heats that makes it work so well with this and other Asian recipes. I like this Wok. It is inexpensive and works great.
Ricer: While I call for frozen rice in this recipe, that is more for convenience. I find that I can get whole heads on cauliflower cheaper. Then I simply use my ricer to do it myself. I get 3 times as much “rice” for less than the frozen bags.
