Spicy Cauliflower Fried 'Rice' with Pork image

This is a slightly more spicy (zingy?) take on the paleo-style cauliflower fried rice with pork. You could use any protein. Adjust the poblano chile to mild it down or heat it up as desired.

Time 32m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 head cauliflower, cored and cut into florets
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 boneless pork chops
½ teaspoon five-spice powder, or to taste
¼ cup reduced-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon light brown sugar
1 ½ teaspoons fish sauce
1 pinch red pepper flakes
⅛ teaspoon ground ginger
¾ cup roughly-chopped mushrooms
1 small yellow onion, finely chopped, or more to taste
½ cup carrot, diced
¼ fresh poblano chile pepper, diced, or to taste
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons chopped green onion

Steps:

  • Pulse cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice.
  • Heat sesame oil a large wok or skillet over medium heat. Season pork chops with five-spice powder; cook until pork is slightly pink in the center, 2 to 3 minutes per side. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Transfer pork chops to a cutting board to rest.
  • Whisk soy sauce, brown sugar, fish sauce, red pepper flakes, and ginger together in a bowl.
  • Return wok to medium heat; cook and stir mushrooms, onion, carrot, and poblano chile until tender, about 4 minutes. Cut pork chops into cubes.
  • Push mushroom mixture to one side of wok. Add eggs; cook and stir until scrambled, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir mushroom mixture and eggs together in wok. Stir in cauliflower and soy sauce mixture; add pork cubes. Cook until cauliflower is tender, 3 to 4 minutes more. Garnish with green onions.

I don't have any pork on hand. Can I use chicken instead?

This recipe was a little too spicy for me, but it was still really good. I'll definitely make it again, but I'll use less chili peppers next time.

I love that this recipe uses cauliflower rice instead of regular rice. It's a healthier option and it still tastes great.
