Instructions

Prepare to rice the cauliflower by separating the florets from the cauliflower stems. This way, it is easier to grind the cauliflower later on.
Add the cauliflower florets into the blender and add cold water. Close the lid and start pulsing the blender for 15 to 20 seconds. As it blends, you will notice the cauliflower pieces being cut in small sizes and wait until they turn more like rice. After mixing, get a fine sieve and drain the rice.
Once you have stored some of your homemade cauliflower rice, prepare it for cooking. If you want to bake it, place it on a baking sheet, and if you cook it in a pan, cook it in a skillet or a pan. It is also great for making mashed cauliflower; you can prepare it in a pot.
Finalize your chosen recipe, rolling it into sushi, blending it into mashed cauli or making roasted cauliflower. Serve and enjoy.

Notes

Do not overcook: Cauliflower rice cooks much faster than regular rice, so it is easy to overcook and end up with mushy rice. Just control the cooking time and adjust depending on your preference.
Add flavor and seasonings: Cauliflower tastes mild, so cooking it in spices or broths can give it a more savory flavor. You can add some garlic powder, chicken powder, onion powder, or spices to taste.
Use a non-stick pan for cooking: A non-stick pan or any large skillet helps prevent cauliflower rice from sticking or burning, especially when using little to no oil.
