Kitchen Sink Cauliflower Rice

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

Method
 

  1. 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).
  2. Next, thinly slice your bell pepper, roughly chop your cilantro and thinly slice your green onion and set all aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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.
  7. At this point, your broccoli will be done but set it aside for now.
  8. 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).
  9. Chuck your broccoli into the pan and mix in.
  10. Now, add in your soy sauce, fish sauce and apple cider vinegar. Let that all cook together for another 2-3 minutes.
  11. 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.
  12. Let it cook for 1 minute and then start scrambling it, and incorporate into the cauliflower rice.
  13. Your cauliflower rice is now ready! Mmmm.
  14. 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."
