Serves: 4 as side and 2 as a meal
Want a healthier version of “Fried Rice”? Then try this one made out of cauliflower instead of rice. Great tasting and makes a great side or a full meal if you serve it with a salad or I served with my Broccoli Slaw that was left over from yesterday.
Of course you can purchase cauliflower already riced but I’m going to show you two ways of making your own and it is very simple.
Ingredients
1 tbsp olive oil
½ cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped red bell pepper
½ cup vegetable broth
1 cup frozen peas and carrots
½ cup frozen corn
2 tbsp sesame oil
4 cups grated cauliflower
¼ cup vegetable broth
1 tbsp minced garlic
2 eggs
1 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 chopped green onions
Sesame seeds
Directions
Cut cauliflower in half
Remove the leaves and stalk on each half
Cut cauliflower into chunks
You can easily shred the cauliflower using a hand shredder and pushing the cauliflower hard on the largest shredding side. Do this for the whole head
Or you can use a food processor and the shredder attachment. Here you put the cut pieces in through the top and push them down when the plunger. It makes rice fast
We only need four cups so if you have extra cauliflower rice you can store it in a Ziploc bag that has a piece of paper towel in it and place the rice inside it. You can freeze this up to three months and add to any meal
In a wok over high heat add oil and sauté onions and pepper until onions are translucent
Pour in vegetable broth, frozen peas, carrots and corn and cook until liquid has reduced and veggies are cooked
Place veggies in a bowl and set aside
In wok add 2 tbsp sesame oil, cauliflower and broth and cook until cauliflower is tender
Stir in garlic and stir fry for about a minute
In a bowl whisk together eggs and sesame oil
Push the cauliflower mixture to the sides of the wok to create a well in the center
Pour in egg mixture and let set on the bottom, then scramble eggs and stir everything together
Return the veggies back into the wok and combine well
Stir in soy sauce and season with salt and pepper to taste
Stir in green onions and serve with sprinkle of sesame seeds
Ready to serve as a side or a meal
