Cauliflower Fried Rice (Low Carb Recipe)

If you love fried rice; but hate the carbs and grease (lol); here's a recipe I thought I'd share. A friend at work made it and its actually really good. She found it on Skinnytaste. I just have to buy Sesame Oil and I will be making it this week.

Here's the recipe in case anyone would be interested.

1 medium head (about 24 oz) cauliflower, rinsed
1 tbsp sesame oil
2 egg whites
1 large egg
pinch of salt
cooking spray
1/2 small onion, diced fine
1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
2 garlic cloves, minced
5 scallions, diced, whites and greens separated
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 half of the 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 and spray with oil. Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set; set aside.

Add the sesame oil and saute onions, scallion whites, peas and carrots and garlic about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.

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. Add the egg then remove from heat and mix in scallion greens.

I saw this and it looked so good. I don't have a food processor, any suggestions how to get the cauliflower small.

This sounds really good. I'll have to give it a try! Thanks for sharing it.

Re: Cauliflower Fried Rice (Low Carb Recipe)

Can you use thawed frozen cauliflower or does it have to be fresh?

Re: Cauliflower Fried Rice (Low Carb Recipe)

I saw that & wondered how it comes out.

I've made this. It wasn't skinnytaste's recipe but the same concept. It was good...not exactly fried rice but gives you the idea. I used a cheese grater to to break up the cauliflower.
