Recipe: Cauliflower Fried Rice
Ingredients
- Avocado oil
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 1 cup chopped scallions, light and green parts separated (you’ll need 5-6 scallions)
- ½ cup fresh carrot, diced small
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 Tbsp. finely chopped fresh ginger, or one tsp. powdered ginger
- 1 10oz bag frozen riced cauliflower
- 4 Tbsp. low sodium soy sauce (use gluten-free if needed)
- ¼ tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
- 1 tsp. honey
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 tsp. rice vinegar
- 1 tsp. sesame oil
Instructions
Heat 2 tsp. of avocado oil in a large (10 or 12-inch) nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the egg and scramble until the eggs are cooked. Transfer to a plate and set aside. Add 2 Tbsp. of avocado oil to the pan and set over medium heat. Add the light parts of the scallions, carrots, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cauliflower and cook until liquid is released and completely evaporated. Then add 4 Tbsp. of soy sauce, red pepper flakes, honey, and ¼ tsp. salt. Cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Add the peas and continue cooking until the cauliflower “rice” is tender-crisp and the vegetables are heated through, a few minutes. Stir in the rice vinegar, sesame oil, dark green scallions, and eggs. Taste and adjust seasoning. Serve and enjoy!
