Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Rice the cauliflower using a food processor or a grater until it resembles rice grains.
- Mince the ginger and garlic.
- Finely chop the onion.
- Cut broccoli into small florets.
- Dice the carrots.
- In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tbsp of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tbsp of vegetable oil.
- Add the minced garlic, ginger, and chopped onion. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the mixture is fragrant.
- Add the broccoli florets and diced carrots to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until they start to become tender.
- Add the riced cauliflower, sweet corn, and peas to the pan. Mix everything well and stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the cauliflower is tender.
- Pour in the soy sauce, sesame oil, and white pepper. Stir everything together ensuring the vegetables are evenly coated with the sauce.
- Return the scrambled eggs to the pan and mix them into the cauliflower rice.
- Sprinkle the sesame seeds over the top and give the mixture one final stir.
- Serve the cauliflower fried rice hot as a main dish or a side. Enjoy your quick and healthy meal!
Tips:
- Ensure the cauliflower is processed into rice-sized pieces for the best texture. Avoid over-pulsing to prevent it from becoming mushy.
- For a more flavorful dish, consider adding a splash of rice vinegar or a pinch of chili flakes.
- Feel free to add or substitute your favorite vegetables, such as bell peppers or snap peas.
- Use a non-stick pan to minimize the need for additional oil and to prevent the cauliflower rice from sticking.
- For a vegan version, omit the eggs and consider adding tofu or tempeh as a protein source.
