Cauliflower Fried Rice

This is another recipe inspired by getting veggies in my Misfits Market produce box that I didn’t know what to do with! For cauliflower, I usually just add it into a veggie tray bake, but I wanted to try something new this time - and out came this delicious and easy cauliflower fried rice! With the addition of the crumbled tofu, this becomes a surprisingly satisfying and incredibly delicious dish. Seems like cauliflower can really become anything and everything.

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Ingredients

  • 1 medium cauliflower
  • Frozen stir fry veggie mix (I get mine from Trader Joes)
  • 3 cloves of garlic, minced
  • A nob of ginger, peeled and grated
  • 1 block of extra firm tofu
  • 1 tbsp of toasted sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup of tamari (or soy sauce)
  • 3 tbsp of hot sauce
  • Toasted sesame seeds and spring onions to top

Instructions

  1. Start by ricing your cauliflower, (which is super easy if you have a food processor!) Wash and cut your cauliflower into florets, then blitz it in the food processor until it becomes a "rice".
  2. In a pan over medium low heat, sauté the garlic and ginger in sesame oil for a minute, until fragrant.*
  3. Then, add the cauliflower rice and frozen vegetable mix. Turn the heat up to medium. Put a lid on the pan to help the veggies defrost and cook down. Stir regularly.
  4. Once the veggies thaw, take the lid off and allow the veggie mix to steam. There will be water from the vegetables that will steam off after 5-10 minutes of cooking at medium heat. Continue to stir.
  5. Then, crumble in the tofu. Add the tamari and hot sauce, stir well to combine. Taste as you go and add any more sesame oil, tamari or hot sauce as needed!
  6. Serve with toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions!

Notes:

*If you don't have a food processor, it might be easier to buy pre-riced cauliflower.
