Cauliflower Fried Rice
This trendy dish is a fantastic substitute for regular fried rice. Your taste buds won’t even know they’re munching on a veggie! Grab your apron; we’re about to embark on a culinary adventure.
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced
- 2 tablespoons sesame oil (because we’re fancy like that)
- 1 onion, diced (even though it may make you cry, embrace the flavors)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced (for that aromatic punch!)
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, or whatever makes you happy)
- 2 eggs, beaten (because we want to party!)
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for our gluten-sensitive friends)
- Salt and pepper to taste (don’t be shy—season it like you mean it!)
- Green onions, chopped (for garnish, and a pop of color)
Instructions:
- Start by ricing the cauliflower! You can use a food processor or, if in a workout mood, a box grater will do just fine too. Just imagine you’re fighting those carbs, and get it done!
- Heat the sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Toss in the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent and aromatic. A kitchen dance may occur—don’t fight it.
- Add the garlic and let it mingle with the onion for about a minute, stirring constantly so it doesn’t burn. Burnt garlic is the villain in our culinary story.
- Now introduce the mixed vegetables to the party! Stir them in and let them sizzle for a few minutes until they’re tender.
- Push the veggie mix to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs onto the other side. Scramble them gently until fully cooked, then combine everything into a glorious, colorful heap!
- Finally, add the riced cauliflower to the mix. Pour in the soy sauce, and stir it all together—this is the moment of magic! Season with salt and pepper, and keep stirring until the cauliflower is tender and heated through, about 5-7 minutes.
- Last but not least, garnish with green onions. Serve warm and enjoy your low-carb feast!
There you have it—your new favorite dish that might just make you forget fried rice ever existed. So, gather your friends and show off your culinary prowess. If anyone asks, just say it’s the secret to living your best life! Bon appétit!
