CAULIFLOWER RICE - STIR FRIED (Good substitute for rice)
Ingredients
1 head of cauliflower (roughly 1 pound), riced.
You can find it pre-made in your grocery store’s frozen vegetables section.
OR you can make it yourself by cutting the fresh cauliflower into florets, remove the core, pulse the florets in food processor/chopper until your end product appears and resembles rice grains.
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves of garlic, minced (fresh garlic tastes better)
1/2 teaspoon ginger paste
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
2 green onions chopped (optional for taste and color)
Salt and pepper to taste
Finely chopped cilantro to garnish.
Directions
Heat the oil in a large skillet, wok, or non-stick pan over medium heat.
Add the garlic and ginger and saute for just a minute.
Add the riced cauliflower to this mixture and stir fry for 5-7 minutes.
Garnish with cilantro.
At this point your, riced cauliflower stir fry is ready.
Twists:
Scrambled Eggs: If you want to add scrambled eggs, just take your riced cauliflower mixture out, pour 4 beaten eggs in the pan and scramble until cooked through.
Add the riced cauliflower to these scrambled eggs and stir fry for another 1-2 minutes.
Your Favorite Protein: Stir in cooked protein such as chicken, shrimp, fish, or tofu.
Spice it Up: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes or a drizzle of Sriracha sauce for extra heat.
Boost Flavor: Include other stir fried vegetables like broccoli, carrots, snap peas, or mushrooms.
Add Sauce: Stir in 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free), 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil in the middle of the cooking.
