Cauliflower Fried Rice
This cauliflower fried rice is a great alternative if you are used to serving rice. It is a very versatile dish. You can use the ingredients outlined below or you can substitute or add the following: green beens, green onions, red bell pepper (or any other color).
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower 1 large head of cauliflower
- 1 sweet onion finely diced (medium size)
- 1 tsp ginger fresh, finely minced
- 2 cloves garlic finely diced
- 1 jalapeño pepper finely diced
- 2 carrots 2 large carrots, diced
- 1 cup corn
- 1 cup green peas
- 1 pinch sea salt
- 0.75 cup kimchi chopped and use some of the juice too
- 1 tbsp tamari
- 0.25 tsp black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- To create your cauliflower "rice", you can just use your knife and chop it to the consistency you like or use a food processor. When using the food processor make sure not to run it for too long because you want to get a "rice-like" consistency!
- Finely dice the sweet onion, ginger, garlic and jalapeño pepper. Then heat a wok or large skillet over medium heat and add the onions followed by the salt (use some veggie broth to deglaze if needed!). Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until translucent.
*Note: Because you're not using any oil you can opt to sweat the onions with a bit of vegetable stock or water. Meanwhile, prepare the rest of your Mise en Place. - Once the onions are translucent, add the garlic, ginger and chilies. Stir and let cook for a minute or so until they release their aroma.
- Next you add the cauliflower "rice", the kimchi juice and tamari. Stir well to mix all the ingredients.
- Add the carrots, green peas, and corn. Cook the vegetables, stirring occasionally until slightly tender, approximately 10 minutes.
- Next add the kimchi and the salt and pepper to taste. Mix well to incorporate all the different ingredients. Use as a side dish and add any toppings of choice (e.g. green onions).
