Cauliflower Fried Rice

Jennifer Allen
Cauliflower Fried Rice may not sound like your typical Southern comfort dish, but give it a chance and it just might surprise you. I grew up with warm bowls of fried rice alongside fried chicken or pork chops at weekend family dinners.

Equipment

  • Knife
  • Cutting board
  • Large skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula or spoon
  • Bowl
  • Stove or cooktop

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head cauliflower riced (about 4 cups)​
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil​
  • 1/2 cup diced carrots​
  • 1/2 cup peas​
  • 2 cloves garlic minced​
  • 2 large eggs beaten​
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari​
  • 2 green onions sliced​
  • Salt and pepper to taste​

Instructions
 

  • Chop the cauliflower into small pieces and pulse in a food processor until it looks like rice. Set it aside.
  • Heat one tablespoon of sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced carrots and peas. Cook for about five minutes, stirring often, until they start to soften.
  • Add the minced garlic to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for another minute.
  • Push the veggies to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until they are cooked through.
  • Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Pour in the rest of the sesame oil. Stir everything together well so the eggs and veggies mix with the cauliflower.
  • Pour the soy sauce over the mixture. Stir until everything is coated and hot. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Turn off the heat. Sprinkle sliced green onions on top. Serve hot and enjoy your Southern-style Cauliflower Fried Rice.
