this is a low carb, low calorie substitute for white rice that is just as soft and delicious.  1/2 a head of cauliflower, or a whole, depending on how much. *a little goes a long way, though. 1. grate the cauliflower on a cheese grater to create the shredded appearance of rice. 2. steam it for about 5 minutes or until soft. (if you dont have a steamer, place it all in a collender over a pot of boiling water.
