Thai Cauliflower Fried "Rice"
Thai Cauliflower Fried "Rice"
https://www.simplyscratch.com

This Thai-inspired recipe is my favorite cauli-fried rice to date. I combined a smidgen of brown sugar with lemongrass, tamari and fresh squeezed lime juice and poured that over cauli that's been blitzed into smithereens and then stir-fried with garlic and green onions in coconut oil. Then at the very end, once I dish myself out a bowl, I top it with fresh cilantro leaves, chopped peanuts and extra green onions... it's like fried rice meets Pad Thai. SO FREAKING GOOD.

  • 1 teaspoon light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemongrass
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium tamari
  • 1/2 lime (juiced plus more lime wedges for serving)
  • 4 green onions (sliced (reserve 1/4 cup of dark green parts))
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro leaves (divided)
  • 1/3 cup chopped lightly salted peanuts (or cashews)
  • 1 head cauliflower (cut into small florets)
  • 1 teaspoon unrefined coconut oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 egg (beaten)
