Fried Cauliflower Rice With Quail Eggs

A few weeks ago I discovered pre-made Cauliflower Rice at my local Trader Joe's and was SO pumped. If you've ever made cauliflower rice, you know that it's a bit of a pain. It's messy; you have to pull out the food processor. It's so much easier to make when it's already been riced for you, in a bag that you simply get to pull out of the fridge.

This is the lunch I've been making myself the past few days. I know I'm getting very close to being sick of it but not yet. It's simple and delicious and super healthy. My one gripe with a lot of healthy food is that it doesn't have enough flavor; not this dish.
