Delicious low-carb recipe for "Cauliflower Fried Rice," a healthy and satisfying alternative to traditional fried rice:
Ingredients:
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, grated into "rice" (or pre-packaged cauliflower rice)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil or sesame oil
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup peas (fresh or frozen)
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2-3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Chopped green onions and sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
Start by grating the cauliflower into "rice" using a box grater or a food processor. If using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice grains. Set aside.
Heat the vegetable oil or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and garlic to the skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until they become fragrant and the onion becomes translucent.
Stir in the diced carrots and peas. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the beaten eggs to the other side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through, breaking them into small pieces with a spatula.
Combine the eggs with the vegetables and then add the grated cauliflower.
Season with low-sodium soy sauce or tamari, ground ginger, salt, and pepper. Stir well to distribute the flavors and cook for another 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed with more soy sauce or other seasonings.
Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
Serve hot as a standalone meal or as a side dish with your favorite protein.
This low-carb cauliflower fried rice is a satisfying, nutritious, and flavorful alternative to traditional fried rice. It's packed with vegetables and is perfect for those looking to reduce their carb intake while enjoying a classic dish.
