Kitchen Sink Cauliflower Rice

Alice Williams
Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 head of cauliflower
  • 1 small head of broccoli
  • 1 orange bell pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp Ginger paste
  • 1 tbsp Garlic paste
  • Dried or fresh shallots I used 1tbsp of dried shallots
  • 1/4 cup roughly chopped cilantro
  • 1 sliced green onion
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp fish sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tbsp of chicken bouillon or 1/4 cup of chicken stock
  • Olive oil to season the pan

Instructions
 

  • Firstly, prep the cauliflower. Roughly chop the cauliflower and throw into your food processor. Pulse until you get a riced texture. Set aside in a bowl (you'll have A LOT so use a big bowl).
  • Next, thinly slice your bell pepper, roughly chop your cilantro and thinly slice your green onion and set all aside.
  • Then, get your broccoli and cut it into edible sized pieces. Throw it into your microwave steam (seriously, buy one, it's a game changer and I'll link below) and steam for 5-mins.
  • While you're waiting for the broccoli, start heating up your pan and about 1tbsp of olive oil, or oil of your choice, until the oil is shimmery.
  • Season the oil with salt and pepper (start with 1tsp each) and then add your garlic and ginger paste. Let that cook until the garlic and ginger are fragrant - about 1 minute.
  • Next, add in your cauliflower rice! Cook for about 5 mins, add some more salt, and let the flavors meld together. This is a good time to add in your shallots too.
  • At this point, your broccoli will be done but set it aside for now.
  • Add your chicken bouillon and 6 tbsp of hot water, or your chicken stock, to the pan and let that cook together for another 3-5 minutes (until the cauliflower rice is softened).
  • Chuck your broccoli into the pan and mix in.
  • Now, add in your soy sauce, fish sauce and apple cider vinegar. Let that all cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
  • Make a small opening on the side of your pan (literally just push the "rice away), add a little more oil, wait 30-seconds and then add in your egg.
  • Let it cook for 1 minute and then start scrambling it, and incorporate into the cauliflower rice.
  • Your cauliflower rice is now ready! Mmmm.
  • Add the juice of 1 lime (very important and do not skip) as well as your cilantro and green onion. Mix it all together and feel free to top it off with a fried egg - for the 'gram, you know ;)

Notes

Please keep adding in salt along the way. Much of it will boil off so it's important to keep re-salting for maximum flavor.
You can use diced ginger and garlic in lieu of garlic or ginger paste.
I recommend you use fresh cauliflower and make your own "rice" - the frozen kind yields a ton of water and makes for a not so nice final dish.
Add whatever else you have in your fridge! I'll regularly add in leftover meats or will buy a whole roast chicken at Sprouts and pull apart the meat to add to my "rice."
