Pro Tips by Neha
Use a food processor or a grater to make the cauliflower rice. Using these will ensure that the result is rice-like and not a paste of cauliflower.
You can add shrimp, pork, beef, shredded chicken, or eggs to your rice if you wish to.
You can add veggies of your choice to this rice. Try adding corn, peas, capsicum, etc.
Increase or decrease the quantity of sauces according to your taste.
You can ass some szechuan sauce if you like your food spicy.
To save time, you can rice the cauliflower in bulk and freeze it in small batches and use it whenever needed.

Just wanted to point out that oyster sauce is NOT vegan, so this is not a vegan recipe. It looks good otherwise though!
