Cauliflower Fried Rice
Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower (or 12 ounces pre-riced cauliflower)
- 1/4 cup coconut aminos
- 4 tbsp ghee (or coconut oil), melted
- 1 tsp ginger, minced
- 1/4 tsp pepper
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 1/2 cup broccoli florets
- 2 carrots, diced
- 3 scallions, chopped
Directions:
- If using a head of cauliflower, chop into smaller pieces and pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice, about 2-3 minutes. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, 2 tbsp of melted ghee (or coconut oil), ginger and pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp of ghee in a medium skillet over low heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook until cooked through (without mixing), about 2-3 minutes per side, flipping only once. Let cool before dicing into small pieces. Set aside.
- Heat remaining 1 tbsp of ghee in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add garlic and onion to the skillet, and cook about 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the onions have become translucent. Stir in the broccoli, carrots, and scallions. Cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender, about 3-4 minutes.
- Stir in the cauliflower, cooked eggs, and coconut aminos mixture. Cook, stirring constantly, until heated through and the cauliflower is tender, about 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.
