I’m a vegan and love fake meat, I love tofu, I love seitan, I love beyond burger, I love mountains of veggies. I love bean burgers, veggie burgers, pakora, etc.
I’m an omnivore and love all of that too. I’d add tempeh and many mushrooms to that list too.
I do not like cauliflower in any other form than in its OG form, lmao…
Cauliflower leans closer to its cousin, cabbage. Its really easy to mess up cauliflower and make it taste and smell horrible.
I finally figured out how to really enjoy cauliflower rice, as a replacement in “fried rice”. You’ve got to get a lot of the water out of it first, then go high heat with a fat. I use butter, but you might be able to get away with avocado oil to stay vegan. Get that maillard reaction going so it browns up just a bit, add some soy sauce, add some diced veggies, and I throw in a scrambled egg I cooked earlier.
Is it identical to actual rice “fried rice”? No, but its close enough for me and is extremely cheap as far as calories go, about 90-120 calories per serving instead of 340 calories or so for actual fried rise. Cauliflower fried rice is also very on low carbs so its friendly to keto folks. Lastly, its also gluten free for our Celiac friends.
Every now and then Chipotle will have Cauliflower rice and it works pretty well with Mexican dishes too.

I do the same! I dont think of it as rice. Just a veggie with a different texture that I like
