This recipe is a great way to cut out the starchy carbs when you crave your favorite Fried Rice dish! Of course it does NOT contain rice as we avoid carbs… but it does use grated cauliflower as a stand in for the rice. This is a really great dish…its great as leftovers too!
Cauliflower Fried Rice
Prep time: 20 mins
Cook time: 5 min
Makes 4 servings
Ingredients:
- Peanut oil
- ½ cup diced Boars Head Maple Ham – you want a smoky sweet ham flavor – or ½ cup raw shrimp, diced
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- ½ cup diced shiitake or white mushrooms
- ½ small head of cauliflower – pulsed in food processor or grated on medium holes of a box grater, about 5 cups total
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil
- ½ cup chopped baby bok choy or spinach
- 4 scallions, sliced
- 2 eggs, well beaten
Directions:
Heat a film of peanut oil in a wok or nonstick skillet over high heat. Toss around the ham or shrimp, ginger, garlic and shiitake mushrooms 1 to 2 minutes, until fragrant. Add the cauliflower and toss while stir frying for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the soy sauce, sesame oil, bok choy and scallions. Continue to toss and cook until cauliflower is tender. Move mixture to the side of the wok. Add another teaspoon of peanut oil and add the eggs. Cook until scrambled, chop using your spatula and mix into your ‘Fried Rice’.
