CHICKEN CAULIFLOWER "FRIED RICE"



Chicken Cauliflower

Provided by Katie Lee Biegel

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium head cauliflower, stem removed
3 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup frozen mixed peas and carrots, thawed
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving, optional
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (I used a rotisserie chicken)
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice. This recipe uses about 4 cups of cauliflower rice. If you have any leftover, save it for another use.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the peas and carrots, scallions and cauliflower. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • As the vegetables are cooking, whisk the soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Stir the sauce and chicken into the cauliflower mixture. Cook an additional minute or 2. Stir the cooked eggs back into the mixture. Serve with hot sauce and additional soy sauce if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh cauliflower: Fresh cauliflower florets will give your fried rice the best texture and flavor. Avoid using frozen or pre-riced cauliflower, as these will result in a mushy texture.
  • Cut the cauliflower into small florets: The smaller the florets, the more evenly they will cook. Aim for florets that are about the size of a grain of rice.
  • Roast the cauliflower before frying: Roasting the cauliflower before frying will help to develop its flavor and give it a slightly crispy texture. Be sure to roast the cauliflower until it is slightly browned and tender.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will allow you to easily stir-fry the cauliflower and rice without overcrowding it. If you use a small skillet, the cauliflower and rice will steam instead of fry, resulting in a mushy texture.
  • Cook the cauliflower and rice in batches: If you are using a small skillet or wok, you may need to cook the cauliflower and rice in batches. Be sure to heat the skillet or wok between batches.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce is what will really make your fried rice shine. Be sure to use a sauce that is flavorful and has a good balance of sweet, sour, and salty flavors.
  • Add your favorite vegetables: Feel free to add your favorite vegetables to your fried rice, such as carrots, peas, broccoli, or bell peppers. Just be sure to cut the vegetables into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Serve immediately: Fried rice is best served immediately after it is cooked. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the texture will not be as good as when it is freshly made.

Conclusion:

Sesame Chicken Cauliflower Fried Rice is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. With its combination of flavorful sauce, tender cauliflower, and fluffy rice, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy cauliflower, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
