I didn't type out the specifics because it's just something I heard on a
cooking segment on a morning TV show in the US (The Today Show). I'm
sure if I looked I could find all the cauliflower recipes from that
segment. Ah yes! here's the link, hope you can view it:

The recipes don't necessarily include the commentary I heard when
watching the show. But she specifically said ( the fried "rice") to
add it last because it releases a lot of water.

Yes I can see it
Thanks for that, it has given me new ideas to use it
I can understand how cauli loses water when it is very finely chopped. I
only tried that once. As I said, it turned into mush
When I make mine, I cook the additions first and then add the cauli just to
heat through.
It seems to work well enough for D
