Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 tbsp Unsalted butter ((or ghee for dairy-free or whole 30; divided))
2 cloves Garlic ((minced))
1/2 large Onion ((finely diced))
1/2 medium Red bell pepper ((finely diced))
2 large Eggs
Sea salt ((to taste))
Black pepper ((to taste))
1 medium head Cauliflower ((or 4 cups riced cauliflower))
2 tbsp Coconut aminos
1 tsp Toasted sesame oil
3 medium Green onions ((chopped))

Steps:

  • Rice the cauliflower: Remove the cauliflower leaves and stems. (Cut off as much of the stems as you can.) Push the cauliflower florets into a running food processor with a grating attachment, to make cauliflower rice. Alternatively, rice the cauliflower using a box grater.
  • Saute the veggies: In a large saute pan over medium heat, heat a tablespoon of butter. Add the garlic, onions, and red peppers. Saute for about 8-10 minutes, until the onions are translucent and just starting to brown.
  • Cook the eggs: Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with 1/2 tsp (2 g) sea salt and a pinch of black pepper. When the onion is done enough, push the veggies to one side of the skillet. (If the pan is dry, you can melt in more butter.) Add the whisked eggs to the other side and cook for a few minutes, until barely scrambled.
  • Stir fry the cauliflower: Push everything to the side again and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the pan. Once it melts, increase heat to medium-high, immediately add the cauliflower, and stir everything together to coat. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Stir fry for about 5 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft, but not mushy.
  • Finishing flavors: Remove from heat. Stir in the coconut aminos, sesame oil, and chopped green onions.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily grate the cauliflower. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to ensure that the cauliflower is evenly grated.
  • Be sure to press the cauliflower rice firmly to remove as much moisture as possible. This will help to prevent the fried rice from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the fried rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the rice over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice sear on the rice and prevent it from sticking to the pan.
  • Be sure to stir the rice frequently. This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly and that it doesn't burn.
  • Add the vegetables and seasonings to the rice towards the end of the cooking time. This will help to preserve their nutrients and flavor.
  • Serve the cauliflower fried rice immediately, while it's still hot and fresh.
