  • 5 minced garlic cloves
  • 1 cup frozen vegetables

  • 1-2 tablespoon olive oe avocado oil for frying

Method
 

  1. Clean and prep your cauliflower - cut into small pieces
  2. Pulse in the food processor until rice-like consistency
  3. Mince your garlic
  4. In medium-high heat, sauté your garlic until fragrant and add in the rice.
  5. Add in the rice. Break it up with your wooden spoon.
  6. If you’re not using leftover rice. This is the time to put in the cauliflower.SAVE 1 CUP OF CAULIFLOWER.
  7. Make a well in the middle of the pan and add a tiny bit more oil. Put the egg and scramble it.
  8. Season with Salt & Pepper
  9. Add the frozen vegetables.
  10. Add the soy sauce. Stir occasionally and taste to adjust seasoning.
  11. Finally, add in the last 1 cup of riced cauliflower.
  12. Saute in HIGH HEAT for 2 minutes.
  13. Add the toasted sesame oil
  14. Add your garnishes (green onion and sesame seeds), stir and serve.

Notes

Cauliflower tends to get soggy when you add soy sauce. My trick is to save 1 cup of the riced cauliflower and cook it in the pan at the end of your cooking time. LAST 2 minutes. Right before you add your toasted sesame oil.
Equipment:
Food Processor or cheese grater
