Course: Vegan/ Gluten Free
Cuisine: International
Author: Chefjar

Ingredients

  • Large head cauliflower-1
  • Garlic cloves finely chopped-3
  • Red chili flakes- 1/2 tsp.
  • Mixed vegetables carrots, peas & corns- 2 cups
  • Broccoli florets - 1 1/2 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.
