Ingredients

  • 1 medium head cauliflower
  • 3 large eggs beaten
  • 2 cups mixed vegetables fresh or frozen (I used diced carrots and peas)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil optional
  • chopped green onion optional

Instructions

  • Wash the cauliflower with cold water and use paper towels to dry it. Remove all greens.
  • If using a box grater, cut the cauliflower into large chunks and use the medium-sized holes to grate it into pieces the size of rice. If using a food processor, cut the florets into 2-3 inch pieces, and grate the cauliflower.
  • Transfer the rice to a large paper towel or kitchen towel, squeezing to remove any excess moisture. This process will prevent your rice from becoming soggy when cooked.
  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add cauliflower rice, diced carrots, and peas. Cover with a lid or plastic wrap and cook on high for 2 minutes.
  • Beat the eggs in another bowl, and add it on top of the cauliflower rice. (Don’t mix at this point.)
  • Cover with the lid or plastic wrap, and microwave on high for 45 seconds (the eggs will be half-cooked at this point).
  • Mix the egg with the cauliflower rice and other vegetables. Microwave for another 45-60 seconds until eggs are fully cooked.
  • Season with salt, pepper, and optional sesame oil. Mix well.
  • Sprinkle with chopped green onions. Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • If you’d like to steam plain cauliflower rice, just place it in a microwave-safe container and cook on high for 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • A medium cauliflower head (1 pound) will give you about 4 cups of cauliflower rice.
