High-Protein Dr Pepper Sausage Pineapple Fried Rice

Why this version is better

Per serving: ~+19g protein, ~-34g carbs, ~-96 calories vs. original. The swap achieves the high-protein, under-700-calorie goals while keeping fat moderate. Cauliflower rice has a slightly softer texture than day-old jasmine rice but works well in a hot wok-style pan.

Cooking note: Replacing white jasmine rice with cauliflower rice dramatically cuts carbs and calories while increasing fiber. Adding eggs boosts protein without significantly affecting texture — eggs bind and coat the rice grains similarly to standard fried rice technique. Reducing neutral oil from 3 tablespoons to 1.5 tablespoons cuts fat modestly; the sausage renders enough fat to compensate. Increasing sausage quantity from 4 to 6 links raises protein substantially. These swaps are chemically and texturally safe for a stir-fry format.
