Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower has recently taken the cake for most versatile veggie. We've seen cauliflower pizza, cauliflower "mash", buffalo cauli and even a cauliflower rendition of General Tso's chicken. Today we're serving cauliflower fried rice! This dish is a great way to satisfy that fried rice craving without the sodium, MSG, and refined carb fest. Pair it with a protein of choice: fried egg, tofu, shrimp, or chicken and enjoy!

Ingredients: (serves 4)

cauliflower fried rice
  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 large carrot, diced

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 2 eggs, scrambled (option to add another fried egg on top!)
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce or Bragg's liquid aminos

Directions:

  1. Shred the cauliflower using a grater or food processor until it resembles rice shape
  2. Heat one tablespoon sesame oil in a skillet over medium low heat and add the carrots and garlic until tender and browning. Add the shredded cauliflower, edamame and remaining tablespoon of sesame oil. Stir fry until cauliflower is soft but not too mushy
