Triple pork fried cauliflower rice sounds a bit weird but it was the best I could come up with at short notice.
It’s been a bit crazy at work and I only got home at about 4 pm and didn’t feel like doing a long cook. I will be cooking some duck breasts tonight by sous vide but for tea I wanted something relatively easy.
I decided since I had pork rashers, pork sausages, and lup chong that I had a triple threat of pork. I’m still eschewing carbs, so the fried rice had to be cauliflower rice.
I know what you’re thinking, where’s the bacon? I did think of buying some bacon but I decided against it. Can you believe it?
I’m eating more pork in preparation for shortages in case African Swine Fever virus infection becomes more of a problem which will mean Australian pork will be in higher demand from overseas pork lovers, especially the Chinese market which has been affected by ASF.

Questions and answers
Is pork your favourite meat?
As much as I love a tender and juicy rare rib steak, the versatility of pork is what makes it my favourite meat. Being basian helps too because so many basians and Asians love pork. I mean Triple pork when three is better than one or two.
Is cauliflower really a substitute for rice?
As a low carbohydrate alternative, you bet it is.
Will ASF get to Australia?
I hope not. ASF in Australia would be a disaster for the pork industry. The prices for any pork let alone Triple pork will skyrocket.
Final thoughts

Pork is my favourite meat so this appeals to me on so many levels. And the use of lup cheong is genuis-sooo tasty!
It’s one of my better fusion cuisine ideas 😂
How wonderful, pork and fried healthy cauliflower rice is perfect. Baking a sausage is a brilliant idea. My two favourite meats are definitely pork and duck ☺
Thank you Merryn. I’m a big fan of duck too.
I like pork, so triple prok works well for me. Cauliflower rice is pretty delicious, whisper it, maybe even more so than proper rice? (Once you can get past the stink of it.)
Thanks Emma. The smell wasn’t an issue with the sesame oil and soy sauce 😃😃😃
