Cauliflower “Faux Fried Rice”

Posted on by Nick

Fried Rice

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.

Notes

These Biscuits/Muffins freeze well. Just pop in microwave on 6 power for 2 minutes if frozen or 1 minute if thawed.

Make your own healthy bread crumbs by toasting your favorite whole wheat bread and then process in food processor to fine consistency. Three slices of bread equals approximately one cup of bread crumbs.
