If you feel like you’ve been eating badly this holiday season and you want to ‘lighten up’ your dinner menu, there are many great alternatives to dishes that contain rice. In some homes, rice is a staple and in others it is avoided at all costs. Cauliflower fried rice will make you feel less guilty, but still fill you up. Personally, mashed cauliflower or cauliflower mac and cheese is a favourite of mine to make every time I want to switch it up and reduce my carb intake. Cauliflower fried rice will be another one to add to the list.
Ingredients:
- One large cauliflower head
- 2 large eggs
- vegetable oil
- 1 cup chopped scallions
- 3 cloves of garlic- minced
- 1 tsp fresh hopped ginger
- 5 table spoons soya sauce
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots ( or broccoli mix)
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1/2 small onion diced
- 1tsp salt (or more if needed)
Directions:
- You can choose to grate your cauliflower or just place in a food processor to make your ‘rice’
- Add vegetable oil to a hot skillet and lightly scramble your eggs with a dash of salt. Remove eggs and set aside
- Add more oil to fry the scallions, garlic, ginger and onion, stir until softened- not brown
- Add the cauliflower along with some salt and the soya sauce
- Stir constantly and cook until tender
- Add the eggs, sesame oil and sugar
