Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil 30 mL
  • 1 cup diced white onion about ½ an onion
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup diced carrots diced
  • 1 cup frozen peas 150 g
  • 2 eggs
  • ¼ cup soy sauce for a gluten-free option use tamari, 60 mL
  • 1 tsp toasted sesame oil 5 mL

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Rice: Cut 1 head cauliflower into chunks and throw into a food processor. Blitz briefly, just a few times until “rice” forms. (You will probably need to do this in batches!)
  2. Flavor Makers: In a large saute pan or wok, heat 2 Tbsp olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 cup diced white onion, 1 cup diced carrots, and 4 cloves garlic, cooking until carrot is tender, about 10 minutes.
  3. Veggies: Stir in cauliflower rice and 1 cup frozen peas. Cover and cook until cauliflower rice is slightly tender, about 5 more minutes.
  4. Egg: Make a hole in the middle of the mixture so you can see the bottom of the wok. If not using a nonstick pan, spritz the center with a little oil. Crack 2 eggs into the middle of the hole and scramble them, then stir to evenly combine with everything else.
  5. Serve: Stir in ¼ cup soy sauce and 1 tsp toasted sesame oil. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Store cauliflower fried rice in the fridge in an airtight container for up to 4 to 5 days. You can also freeze it in a freezer-safe container for a few months! When ready to eat, just let it thaw, then saute until hot and fluffy.
