Cauliflower Fried Rice
Description
To make Cauliflower Fried Rice, cauliflower is pulsed in a food processor or shredded until it resembles rice-sized grains. Peas, carrots, and minced garlic are sautéed with sesame oil in a skillet until tender and aromatic. Whisked eggs are added to one side of the pan, cooked briefly, then scrambled and mixed into the vegetables and cauliflower rice.
Soy sauce is stirred in to season the dish, with crushed red pepper flakes optional to add a mild spicy kick. Green onions finish the dish with a fresh note and color contrast. The final dish resembles classic fried rice textures but with the lightness and subtle flavor of cauliflower and vegetables.
Frozen peas and carrots should be defrosted and patted dry to reduce moisture that might make the rice soggy. The dish is best served immediately to preserve texture and warmth.
