Cauliflower “Faux Fried Rice”

Posted on July 25, 2012 by Nick

Ingredients

2 frozen bags of Cauliflower
1 bag of shredded carrots
1 T. minced garlic to taste
2 1/2 cups of Broccoli
1 bunch of Green Onion chopped (about 3/4 – 1 c.)
3/4 c. frozen or canned peas
2 Chicken Breasts
Salt & Pepper to taste
2-3 T. Sesame Seed Oil
3 T. Tamari (or light Soy Sauce) or add to your taste

Instructions

Place frozen Cauliflower (1 bag at a time) in food processor or Ninja and “rice” Cauliflower. It’s similar to putting ice in a blender and crushing it, or using the pulse button.
Place riced cauliflower in a bowl & set aside.
Depending on the meat preference (possibilities are endless) Chicken, Shrimp, Scallops, Ground Turkey, Tofu or Lean Beef. This needs to be prepared separately. I used Chicken which I seasoned (garlic powder, salt, cayenne, ginger & Chili Powder) in a lightly oiled (sesame oil) skillet.
Once chicken or meat is done, dice into small pieces and set aside.
In another skillet/wok add 1 T. of sesame oil or slightly more if needed.
Add all the Cauliflower along with the minced garlic.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes and keep stirring.
Once you hit the 10 minute mark add 1 egg and continue stirring as the egg will scramble…
Add green onion, peas, carrots, broccoli and chicken while stirring frequently.
Add in the remaining 1-2 tbsp’s of sesame seed oil and tamari (soy sauce) and cook for about 5 more minutes or until the veggies have reached your desired crunch. Feel free to add more soy or sesame oil for a bit more flavor.

Notes

If you like spicy you can add a dash of Sriracha or Thai chili paste.
