Ingredients

  • 1 large head of cauliflower riced (~2-3 cups)
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 5 oz. frozen corn
  • 5 oz. frozen shelled edamame
  • 1 large red pepper diced
  • 5 green onions thinly sliced and separated
  • 2 large eggs
  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • ¼ cup chopped cashews or peanuts

Instructions

  • Cauliflower Rice
  • First, line a medium sized bowl with a tea towel or cheese cloth. Set aside. 
  • Chop the cauliflower up into small pieces and place them in a high powered food processor. Be careful not to overfill the food processor. You may need to make the cauliflower in two batches. 
  • Pulse the cauliflower in the food processor on high until cauliflower turns into small rice sized pieces. Pour the cauliflower rice into the bowl lined with a towel. Repeat this step until all cauliflower pieces have been turned into rice. 
  • Add a pinch of salt to the cauliflower rice and stir. Let the cauliflower rice sit for at least 15 minutes. 
  • Finally, twist the top of the tea towel to strain the excess water from the cauliflower rice. 
  • Cauliflower Fried Rice
  • Begin by heating a large skillet pan over medium/high heat. Add olive oil. 
  • When olive oil is fragrant add the cauliflower rice to the pan and spread it out all over the skillet. Let the cauliflower sauté for 2-3 minutes without moving it around, it must start to brown. 
  • Then, use a spatula to move the cauliflower rice around and brown the rest of the cauliflower rice for another 2 minutes. 
  • Add the corn, edamame, red pepper, and 2 green onions (you’ll use the rest later) to the pan and sauté for another 2-3 minutes. 
  • While the vegetables are cooking, mix the soy sauce, rice vinegar, and fish sauce together into a bowl. Set aside. 
  • Create a pocket in the middle of your pan by moving the rice to the edges. Crack two eggs into the well and then scramble with a fork. Cook egg for about a minute and then mix with the rest of the veggies.
  • Finally. add in soy sauce mixture to the pan. Mix all of the ingredients together and cook everything for 4-5 minutes and serve!
  • Top with the remaining green onions and chopped cashews.
