Cauliflower Rice


Image may contain: food
 
1 medium head (about 24 oz) cauliflower, rinsed
1 tbsp sesame oil
1 tsp chili paste
2 large eggs
1/2 small onion, diced fine
1 cup peas and carrots (any veggies you'd like)
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 scallions, diced
3 tbsp soy sauce, or more to taste (Tamari for Gluten Free)

DIRECTIONS:
  • Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely.
  • Coarsely chop into florets, then place cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous – don't over process or it will get mushy. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
  • Combine egg and egg whites in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Season with salt.
  • Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat with sesame oil. Add garlic and chili paste.
  • Saute onions, peas, and carrots in oil mixture for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.
  • Move vegetables to side of pan and cook scrambled eggs. Mix into veggies to incorporate. 
  • Raise the heat to medium-high.
  • Add the cauliflower "rice" to the saute pan along with soy sauce. Mix, cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
  • Top with scallions to finish.
