Wash the cauliflower head and then pat dry. It is important to pat it dry so when you stir fry they won't be "wet" and soupy. Remove the bottom part of the cauliflower and then cut it in half. You may use a grater (coarse part) to shred the cauliflower. I use a food processor to pulse it into a grain consistency, by cutting into large florets first and then pulse them in food processor
