Cauliflower Fried Rice

To get started, we have a confession.  The first attempts to make this were a dismal failure.  It ended up being really mushy and kind of ugly.  It tasted great, but just wasn’t appetizing to look at.  This version however, had a few tweaks that really helped it turn out absolutely perfect.

Start with a head of cauliflower you have cut into chunks.  You want smaller florets, but not tiny – let the processor do that for you.  Next add your cauliflower to your food processor and pulse until it has become finer pieces that are a bit larger than a grain of rice.  I recommend this step be done in batches so all pieces are ground up properly.

Next you will want to put this cauliflower into a bowl and microwave for 1 minute.  This cooks it through, but also helps it release moisture.  This is really important since I think our failures before were because the cauliflower was too moist.  Remove the cauliflower from the microwave and then pat off extra moisture with paper towels.

Set your cauliflower aside, and start with coking your egg, adding in your veggies to heat through then finish by tossing the cauliflower in with some sesame oil at the last minute to just heat through and crisp.  The hardest part of this dish is the prep work! Or you can always pick up a bag of frozen riced cauliflower 🙂
