[Leftover] Pulled Pork Pineapple Cauliflower Fried ‘Rice’
with bell peppers / peas / cashews
We have used this Hawaiian Pulled Pork (leftover from Monday's meal) in a variety of recipes, but this is the first time we've ever used it in cauliflower fried 'rice.' To give the meal a different flavor profile than Monday's dinner, the cauliflower fried rice includes Thai curry paste for spice, pineapple for natural sweetness, and cashews for crunch.
