Cantonese (cauliflower) fried (rice) that doesn’t taste like cauliflower at all and doesn’t smell

I am back with recipe of the week! After spending one week in Italy and enjoying all the food cooked by both our mums I am back at experimenting in the kitchen. Today I have a low-carb, low-calorie, gluten-free, very healthy AND very tasty recipe that takes less than 30 minutes to make. Cauliflower fried rice, here we come!

Ingredients

1 cauliflower head

4 carrots

1 onion or spring onion

1 cup of peas

200 g ham

50 g bacon

2 eggs

1 teaspoon of grated fresh ginger root

soy sauce

 

Cut your cauliflower into florets. Put in mixer and blend until cauliflower is riced. It requires some time and you will have to move stuff around in your mixer. Put aside. In the meantime, put some water on and boil peas in salted water for 5 minutes.

In a large pan, put a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil. Once the pan is hot, sauté your chopped carrots and onion for a couple of minutes, then add the peas you will have rinsed and your riced cauliflower, bacon, and grated ginger. Use a wooden spoon to stir things in the pan. After a couple of minutes carve a hole in the middle of all your vegetables in the pan, pour 1 more tbs of oil and add eggs. Scramble them quickly and mix in with the rest. Add your chopped ham, adjust with salt and soy sauce. Serve steaming hot.

You will not believe the texture and taste of this version of a more classic fried “rice”. It doesn’t taste like cauliflower at all and it doesn’t smell!

P.S. One of the perks of this recipe is that you can swap basically all the ingredients for others that you like better. You can for instance swap the ham for chicken breast, or shrimps, and you can also change basically all the vegetables: the options here are virtually limitless! Be creative and let me know how it goes.
