Cauliflower Fried Rice

Ingredients:

Half a head of cauliflower

2 rashers of streaky bacon (omit for plant based version)

Three green/spring onions - small coarse chop.

1 carrot - grated.

1 egg

Ginger - 2cm nub - minced/crushed

Garlic- three cloves - minced/crushed

Vegetable oil 2 tbsp (rice bran or corn are best)

Sesame oil 2 tbsp

Soy sauce 2 tbsp

Chinese chilli paste 1 tbsp (optional but tasty)

Method:

• Coarsely chop cauliflower into florets, then grate the florets off using large holes on a cheese grater. Pro tip: grate into a large bowl placed in the sink so your kitchen floor doesn't get covered in stray cauliflower!

• Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat and spray with oil.

• Add the sesame oil, ginger and garlic until soft. Raise the heat to medium-high.

• Add the riced cauliflower to the saute pan along with soy sauce. Mix and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly browned.

• Add in grated carrot and chopped spring onion and carefully mix through.

• Push the cauliflower mix to the outer edge of the pan creating a small opening.

• Crack your egg into that small opening straight onto the exposed pan and mix through the cauliflower rice mixture as it cooks.

• Turn heat down, add soy, Chinese chilli paste to taste and more spring onion to garnish.

• Enjoy with Lion's Head Pork Meatballs and Dry Fried Green Beans!
