Vegetarian Cauliflower Fried Rice

I found this recipe in a magazine called Low Sugar Living. I've seen other recipes similar to this and I've always wanted to try it. I mean who doesn't like fried rice?! And this would be even healthier since it's made with cauliflower 'rice'. I was a little hesitant to try it mainly because my mom said she tried making a large batch of cauliflower 'rice' and it tasted like mush the next day but I figured I might as well try it-live and learn right? I didn't take a whole lot of pictures for some reason and the one I did take...don't judge it too much lol. It tasted a lot better than it looked! I used my ninja blender to rice the cauliflower and man I love that blender! It only took 2-3 pulses for it to fully rice the cauliflower! So awesome!!! I didn't add the peas because I'm not a fan of peas at all. I added more soy sauce than it called for and in the end it did taste really good-I could taste the grated ginger and the soy sauce. And it was good 2 days and 3 days later. So I must not have cooked it for as long as my mom had cooked hers-I only cooked mine for a minute or two. I think I'd make it again, but in a smaller batch. I used the whole head of cauliflower. And I don't think I'd use the asparagus again-it didn't cook down as much as I'd like so it was still a little raw and hard to eat. And I would like to add a scrambled egg. I'll experiment a little more with the next batch I make!
