Cauliflower Fried Rice
Cauliflower fried rice is a low carb alternative to one of the best Chinese style dishes around. Follow these steps and I promise I can fool the most sensitive taste buds because it taste so much like the original. A one pan dish that's great for a low carb dinner or side dish!
Ingredients
- 10 ounces frozen cauliflower (see notes)
- 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
- 2 stalks green onion
- 1/4 diced yellow onion
- 1 large egg
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon oyster sauce (sub for dark soy sauce measurements below)
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Prep cauliflower rice, peas and carrots
- If using fresh the instructions are in the passage under "How to make cauliflower rice" I use frozen in the recipe because its the best option.
- Place bag in mircowave and cook for a little more than than half the time. This way when squeezing the excess water out, the bag doesn't burn you. Cut the top off or a corner and squeeze every bit of water out you can. Don't worry about pressing the rice together that's what you want. Set aside when done.
- Cook the peas and carrots from frozen. You just need to get the ice off of them, drain them and place them in the bowl with the diced onions and green onions. Make slurry using the soy sauce and oyster sauce or the soy sauce and dark soy sauce. See notes for questions.
Cooking the fried rice
- In a pan or wok on medium heat add a little vegetable oil and add in 1 beaten egg. Scramble well then remove from the pan.
- Add a little more oil then add in diced onion, green onion, minced garlic, peas and carrots. Season them with salt and pepper to taste. 1/4 tsp each is a start.
- Once diced onion is translucent remove all the veggies from the pan.
- Turn heat up to medium/high, add a lilttle oil then place in rice. It should be clumped together so break apart. Cook about 1 minute then add slurry of soy sauce and oyster sauce. Quickly mix into the rice before it burns away from the heat. Evenly coat the rice.
- Lower the heat and toss the egg and the veggies in. Give it a good mix and blend for about a minute. Remove then serve.
