CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head of cauliflower, stem removed, head cut into florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 green onions, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chili paste, plus more if desired
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 cup packed baby spinach
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
Sriracha (if desired)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until rice-size crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Put a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Add two-thirds of the green onions, the garlic, ginger and chili paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise the heat to medium high and add the carrots and spinach; continue to cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Continuing to stir constantly, add the cauliflower rice. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, until the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a second skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs; as they cook, spoon hot butter over the whites of the eggs so that the whites set without flipping. Towards the end of cooking, carefully spoon hot butter over the yolks and cook until the eggs reach the desired doneness.
  • Remove the pan with the cauliflower from the heat, drizzle with sriracha, and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and reserved green onions. Divide between 4 plates and top each serving with an egg.

Cauliflower rice with peas, carrots, green onion, and cilantro.

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 teaspoons sesame oil, divided
1/2 yellow onion, finely diced
2 large cloves garlic, pressed or minced
2 packages Green Giant® Rice Cauliflower Medley, 12 oz. each
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, omit if you don't want it spicy
2 beaten eggs
2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, if gluten-free
2 tablespoons sliced green onions
1/2-1 tablespoon lime juice
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro

Steps:

  • Heat 2 teaspoons sesame oil in a large skillet over medium low heat. Add the onion and garlic and stir fry until tender and fragrant, about 5 minutes.
  • Add the Green Giant® Riced Cauliflower Medley, 2 teaspoons sesame oil and seasonings; stir fry quickly to cook the cauliflower to a soft (but not mushy) texture.
  • Make a well in the middle, turn the heat down, and add the eggs. Stir gently and continuously until the eggs are fully cooked. Stir in the soy sauce and green onions just before serving.
  • Garnish with lime juice and cilantro.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or grater to rice the cauliflower. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to create evenly sized pieces of cauliflower.
  • Press the cauliflower rice to remove excess moisture. This will help to prevent the fried rice from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the cauliflower rice. This will help to ensure that the rice cooks evenly and doesn't clump together.
  • Cook the cauliflower rice over high heat. This will help to create a slightly charred flavor and texture.
  • Add the vegetables, protein, and sauce to the cauliflower rice in stages. This will help to prevent the ingredients from overcrowding the skillet and cooking unevenly.
  • Serve the cauliflower fried rice immediately. This is when it will be at its best flavor and texture.

Conclusion:

Cauliflower fried rice is a delicious and healthy alternative to traditional fried rice. It's made with simple ingredients and can be easily customized to your liking. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a healthy side dish, cauliflower fried rice is a great option.
