Cauliflower Fried Rice

The goodness of a low carb, no meat meal!

Rice...Cauliflower...No Carbs...Vegetarian. How is this possible? Well that my friends is where something called Riced Cauliflower comes into play. It's a glorious thing that will leave you guilt free and satisfied. Here's what and how to do it. It also only serves one, but it's easily double or tripled, it's veggies so...

Ingredients

1 Cup Riced Cauliflower

1 Carrot

1 Stalk of Celery

1 Slice of Onion

1 Garlic Clove

1 Mushroom

1 Cup of Shredded Cabbage

1/4 Cup Raw Cashews

Cilantro for Garnish

1 Tbsp Avocado Oil(but whatever oil you like or have is fine)

For your cauliflower you can do one of two things make it yourself, which just requires you to chop the whole thing up into manageable pieces and throw it into a blender or processor and blitz it down until it resembles rice or buy it. (Which is what I did. Trader Joes has a really good deal on it and it's pretty fresh)

Finley chop the onion and mince the garlic.

Dice your carrots and celery, slice the mushroom then halve it

Heat a non-stick pan over med-high heat add your Oil and Garlic, let cook for about thirty seconds, then add the carrots and celery, cook that for about two minutes then add the cauliflower and cashews. Turn down the heat a little and let them cook until the cauliflower and nuts  get a little color, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and mushroom. Wash your cilantro (however much you like, I love the stuff so it's a salad on top of my rice, Ha!)

Let cabbage and mushroom wilt down a bit, about 2 min. Then you add the Wonderful Orange Soy Sauce (Recipe to follow). Let that cook until reduced down and thick and the rice has absorbed some of it, about 2 min. Serve on a pretty plate and Garnish with Cilantro.

Sauce Ingredients

1 Tbsp Less Sodium Soy Sauce or Tamari

1 tsp Rice Vinegar

2 tsp Honey

A couple dashes hot sauce

1/4 Cup Orange Juice

1/2 Tbsp Corn Starch

Water so the whole thing equals 1/2 a Cup

Put everything but the water into a measuring glass. Stir until corn starch and honey have combined and dissolved a bit. Add the water to a the 1/2 cup measure line and give another good stir. If you want it spicer add more hot sauce or even crushed red hots. Want it sweeter add more honey, if you want to use an alternative sweetener go for it, just be careful of the ratios

Happy Cooking my friends and remember to keep it homemade!
