Need to reign in your carb intake? This cauliflower rice recipe is perfect for you!
Snow has melted and spring is here. We all know what comes next; that’s right, Bikini season! If you are watching your calories but still need that carb fix, here is a recipe that you will absolutely adore: our cauliflower rice recipe! Faux carbs are fast becoming this year’s hot trend and cauliflower rice is the perfect introduction to grain alternatives.
All you need is a grater or food processor to knock up rice-like pieces, which can then be microwaved in a flash, pan-fried in moments or roasted to create a light, fluffy portion that will have the most ardent carb monsters asking for seconds.
You can experiment with flavours and veggies that you like but here is one recipe which I love! Enjoy.
Ingredients
1 cauliflower florets – (pulsed for about 2 to 3 minutes in food processor to resemble rice-like texture)
2 tablespoons reduced sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
Red chilli flakes, to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, freshly grated
2 eggs, beaten
1 onion, chopped small
6 ounces broccoli florets, chopped
1/2 cup frozen vegetables
1/2 cup frozen peas
2 green onions, thinly sliced
Salt and pepper to taste
Method
- In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, oyster sauce and ginger; set aside.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add red chili flakes, garlic and onion to the skillet, and cook, stirring often, until onions have become translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Stir in broccoli, frozen veggies, frozen peas and cook, stirring constantly, until vegetables are tender-crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Make a well in the middle of this mixture and add the eggs and mix to make scrambled eggs. Combine the eggs with the veggies.
- Stir in cauliflower, green onions and the soy sauce mixture. Mix and cook, stirring constantly, until heated through and the cauliflower is tender, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- Salt and pepper the dish to your taste.
- Serve immediately and the best part about this “rice” dish is that you can eat as much as you want!
