Hacked Crispy Rice / Fried Rice (Cauliflower) step by step
- Microwave the cauliflower for about six minutes.

- Using about half of the rice, and half of the yogurt... Mix together in bowl.. And prep a pan on the stove at med high heat..
- Take the yogurt / rice mix and squish into the bottom of the hot pan with a wooden spoon or the like. It'll sizzle etc.. Depending on your kitchen skills, you can let it brown for about four minutes, then start scraping and mixing the cauliflower.

- Eventually it'll all get slightly browned, remove from heat, scrape pan and enjoy. It'll take about 10 minutes or less, don't let it just sit though, unless your seriously going for the burnt crispy on the bottom..
- Repeat with the second 8oz of rice and yogurt. More Yogurt may be required, I kinda eyeballed the amount I needed..
