Cauliflower "Fried Rice"

Bailey posted a recipe for this a couple of weeks ago here, but I tried something a little different and found that even my roommates enjoyed it which is huge!

  • 1 medium head (about 24 oz) cauliflower, rinsed
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2  whole eggs (scrambled) whites 
  • 1 large egg
  • pinch of salt
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 small onion, diced fine
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 5 scallions, diced, whites and greens separated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce, or more to taste (Tamari for Gluten Free)
  • 1 tbsp Teriyaki marinate
  • 1 tbsp seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 shreadded carrots
  • 1 cup minced bell peppers
  • 2 (4oz) chicken breast

Directions:

Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely. Coarsely chop into florets, then place half of the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous – don't over process or it will get mushy. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
Combine egg and egg whites in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Season with salt.

Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set; set aside.

Add the sesame oil and saute onions, scallion whites, peas and carrots and garlic about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.

Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower "rice" to the saute pan along with soy sauce. Mix, cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Add the egg then remove from heat and mix in scallion greens.

I honestly just threw everything in the pan and let it hang out for like 10 minutes while the chicken re-heated. SUPER EASY and a great way to use up extra veggies. 

Until tomorrow,
