Cauliflower Fried Rice


 

This recipe was amazingly and surprisingly EASY! I totally give it a 10/10 but don't recommend it to anyone that has a texture food thing. Trev thought it was okay but Cami gobbled up a whole plateful! I loved it and it was yummy the next day for lunch leftovers! I also made extra cauliflower rice and froze some for next time I feel like using it!

Ingredients:
  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp cooking oil (divided)
  • 1/2 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and frozen carrots
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce (use tamari if you want GF)
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil
  • fresh cracked black pepper to taste
  • 2 green onions, diced
  • kosher salt, optional
  • more option veggies: celery, broccoli, corn, spinach (I stuck to peas and carrots!)

Directions:
  1. Mince cauliflower into very small crumbled pieces, resembling the size of rice or larger because the cauliflower shrinks as you cook it. I actually used a food processor but it can be done without one. Make sure if you use a food processor that you don't let it get too mushy!
  2. Heat large skillet on medium high heat. Add olive oil, then add onion and garlic. Cook until soft and translucent.
  3. Add cauliflower and sauté until tender, but not mushy soft. Add peas and carrots and stir until combined.
  4. Add beaten egg, soy sauce, sesame oil, and black pepper. Stir until the egg coats all of the cauliflower and becomes cooked. 
  5. Add kosher salt to taste if needed. Add green onions and stir until everything is combined. 
  6. Serve warm. Voila!
