There are always those days where you are running low on time and want to spend as little of it in the kitchen as possible.
There are also those days where you are trying to get rid of the scraps of food you have left in your fridge.
Enter: cauliflower fried rice. This is made in a very similar fashion to a traditional fried rice, with cauliflower substituting for your traditional day-old rice.
Simply dice all your veggies and follow the steps below.
Cook and Prep Time: 30 minutes
You Need:
• 2 heads Cauliflower, riced
• 1 White Onion, diced
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 small can Peas, rinsed and drained
• 1 lb. Chicken Breasts, cut into ½ inch pieces
• 1 bunch Scallions, thinly chopped; whites and dark parts separated
• 2 Carrots, thinly chopped
• 2 Kholrabi, skin removed and chopped into ½ inch pieces
• 1 tbsp. Rice Wine Vinegar
• 2 tbsp. Tamari
• 1 tbsp. Sesame Oil
• 2 Eggs
• 1 Lime, chopped into quarters
• Salt, to taste
• Black Pepper, to taste
• Olive Oil
DIRECTIONS
1.Rinse and chop your produce accordingly. In a large bowl, add your riced cauliflower and set aside until ready for use. In a small bowl, mix tamari, rice vinegar, and sesame oil. In another bowl, add the eggs and whisk until beaten. Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
2.In a large frying pan or wok, add 1 tbsp. olive oil and set to medium-high heat. Add garlic, scallion whites, and onion, stirring occasionally to avoid burning, until onion is softened, 3-4 minutes.
3.In a separate pan, add 1 tbsp. olive oil over medium-high heat. Once warm, add chicken, and cook until no longer pink, stirring occasionally, 8-10 minutes. Remove chicken from pan and set aside until step 6.
4.Once the onions have softened, add kohlrabi and carrots to the garlic and onions. Cook until slightly softened, 4-5 minutes and season lightly with salt and pepper. Stir to combine.
5.Then, add riced cauliflower and peas to the vegetables, and stir to combine. Allow to cook for 1-2 minutes.
6.Then, make a well in the center of the pan. Add eggs, and scramble until fully cooked, 1-2 minutes. Add chicken and tamari mixture to pan, stirring to coat complete, 1 additional minute.
7.Distribute “fried rice” evenly among plates. Garnish each plate with lime wedge and scallion greens. Enjoy!
