Techniques for making cauliflower rice

You can use a food processor to make Cauliflower  Rice. An advantage of this method is that it is versatile in the sense that you can also make cauliflower mashed potatoes using it. However, it does not mean that the appliance is a necessity. You can use a cheese grater as well.

CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE

Author: Chefjar

Ingredients

  • Large head cauliflower-1
  • Garlic cloves finely chopped-3
  • Red chili flakes- ½ tsp.
  • Mixed vegetables carrots, peas & corns- 2 cups
  • Broccoli florets - 1 ½ cup
  • Scallion stems thinly sliced- 1 cup
  • Large eggs beaten-2
  • Vegetable oil- 1 tbsp. for cooking
  • Sesame oil- 1 tbsp. for cooking
  • Salt - to taste if needed
  • FOR THE SAUCE
  • Low sodium soy sauce- 3 tbsp.
  • Oyster sauce- 2 tbsp.
  • FOR GARNISH
  • Black sesame seeds- as needed

Instructions

  • CAULIFLOWER RICE. Using a food processor* with a grater disk attachment, grate the cauliflower until it resembles "rice".
  • Transfer to a clean cloth or paper towel, wrap "rice" in it and squeeze as much water as possible from the "rice". This will prevent your dish from becoming soggy.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together low sodium soy sauce and oyster sauce; set aside.
  • Once you have your sauce and cauliflower rice, it is time to cook.
  • In a large pan/ skillet heat 1 tbsp. of vegetable oil and 1 tbsp. of sesame oil.
  • Add slightly beaten eggs and fry about 2-3 minutes per side or until cooked through. Remove from the pan/skillet and allow to cool before dicing into small pieces; keep aside.
  • In the same pan/skillet cook garlic & chili flakes until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Stir in the broccoli florets and cook another 2 minutes. Add the mixed vegetables and cook 3-4 minutes, stirring every minute or so, until they are tender.
  • Stir in the diced eggs, cauliflower rice, and sauce; mix well to combine. Cover the pan/ skillet with a lid so the cauliflower rice steams and becomes more tender and cook 3-4 minutes.
  • Serve immediately, garnished with thinly sliced scallion stems and black sesame seeds.

Notes

If you don’t have a food processor, use a box grater with the medium-sized holes.
