Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 medium head cauliflower, rinsed
- 1–3 tbsp sesame oil
- 2 eggs
- Pinch of salt
- 1/2 small onion, diced fine
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup frozen peas, or edamame
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup carrots, diced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 5 scallions, diced, whites and greens separated
- 1 – 2 tbsp butter, or butter alternative
- Tamari/Wheat-Free soy sauce, or more to taste
Instructions
- Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely.
- Coarsely chop cauliflower into florets. Place florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is in small little pieces and has the texture of rice or couscous – make sure you don’t over process or it will get mushy! No processor, no worries. Simply finely mince the florets to achieve the same texture.
- Combine eggs in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Season with salt.
- Heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium heat and add some sesame oil.
- Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set. Remove from pan and set aside.
- Add the sesame oil and sauté onions, scallion whites, peas or edamame, carrots and garlic for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until they start to brown. Raise the heat to medium-high.
- Add the cauliflower “rice” to the sauté pan along with butter. Mix and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring semi-frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
- Return the cooked egg into the pan with rice and vegetables and mix in with the rice mixture.
- Remove from heat and mix in scallion greens. Top with soy sauce.
Note: With some modifications this recipe can be made CLEAN and Vegan. Omit the eggs and butter. It’s still very tasty!
