Cauliflower Fried “Rice”


Description

If you can’t find bagged cauliflower crumbles, trim a medium-sized head of cauliflower into large florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor to create rice-sized cauliflower granules. Keep the pieces on the larger side, as they’ll get too mushy if they’re too small.


Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped scallions (green parts only) + more to garnish
  • 1/2 inch fresh ginger, grated
  • 1 cup frozen peas, carrots and corn mix
  • 1 16-ounce bag of cauliflower crumbles (defrosted if frozen)
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a generous pinch of salt.
  2. Heat the olive oil in a large wok or skillet on medium heat. Add the eggs and cook, breaking the eggs into small scrambles, until set. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Heat the tablespoon of sesame oil and add the garlic, scallions and ginger. Cook for 1 minute, until the garlic is sizzling, then add the peas, carrots and corn mix. Increase the heat to medium-high and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-5 minutes, until the vegetables have begun to soften and brown.
  4. Add the cauliflower crumbles and the soy sauce. Mix well, then cover and cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and increase the heat to high. Cook, stirring frequently, until any liquid has burned off and the cauliflower begins to brown, approximately 2-3 minutes.
  5. Remove from the heat and stir in the scrambled eggs. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then top with the scallions and serve.
