Plain Cauliflower Rice
Description
To make Plain Cauliflower Rice, the cauliflower head is grated using the large holes of a box grater or processed into small granules. Stir-frying in a hot wok or non-stick pan over medium-high heat for about two minutes heats the cauliflower through and softens it without turning mushy. Stirring minimally towards the end encourages slight browning, enhancing the rice’s flavor with a hint of roasted nuttiness reminiscent of cooked cauliflower florets.
The dish is a plain preparation suitable as a base for many meals or to be seasoned and combined with other ingredients. It provides a vegetable substitute to grains and rice, maintaining a light texture and mild taste.
Notes indicate that this cauliflower rice is suitable for freezing and the nutrition information should be used as a general guideline. Proper freezing and reheating can allow convenient meal prep and storage.
Ingredients
- 1 cauliflower roughly 400g / 14 oz, medium
Instructions
- Grate the cauliflower on the large holes of a box grater (or use a food processor, if you prefer).
- Place a wok (or large non-stick frying pan) over a medium-high heat for one minute.
- Tip the cauliflower into the wok and stir-fry for 2 minutes or until the cauliflower is piping hot.
- For extra flavour, stir less and allow the cauliflower to brown slightly – this will give your cauliflower rice a slightly richer, nuttier flavour, reminiscent of roasted cauliflower.
Notes
- This cauliflower rice can be frozen for later use without losing quality.
