An easy way to lighten up dinner, cauliflower fried rice is a great choice as a side dish for dinner.Or you can add in some cooked chicken, bacon or ham to turn it into a full-on dinner! I go through the occasional low carb phase at home. Just a few days here and there because I LOVE CARBS so much and I hate cutting them out.This cauliflower rice is my go-to to side dish to make those meals feel complete - so I don’t whinge too much about missing out. The cauliflower absorbs all the flavours from the garlic, soy sauce and sesame oil so it’s actually pretty darn tasty - and perfect for serving with saucy dinners. I like to sprinkle on some chopped spring onions and drizzle on a little chilli sauce before serving.
First we grate the cauliflower. You can use a cheese grater for this, or your can use a food processor if you have one.Fry up the onion, garlic, peppers and peas in a little oil, then add in sesame oil and the riced cauliflower and fry again.The egg, along with a little soy sauce is added to the side of the pan and is scrambled, then stirred into the rice.Finish off with a little more soy sauce, salt and lemon juice.
Ingredient swaps
Add cooked ham, bacon, crispy tofu or chicken for a complete meal.
