High Protein Cauliflower Fried Rice

Cauliflower fried rice — which is just cauliflower shredded into rice-like bits — does taste similar to rice, or at least it behaves similarly by soaking up all the flavor of its seasonings.

In this quick and easy cauliflower fried rice recipe, I sauté chopped cauliflower with aromatics, vegetables, soy sauce, and tofu (for protein and egg replacement), much like Asian-style fried rice. It’s a healthy, low-carb dish that’s hearty enough to serve as a main course.

COOKING DIRECTIONS:

1. Drain and remove the water from the tofu by pressing with paper towels to absorb moisture.

2. Shred the tofu into tiny pieces and set aside while chopping up vegetables.

3. In a wok over medium-low heat, add EVOO, garlic, onions, soy sauce, and coconut liquid aminos. Bring to a simmer until fragrant.

4. While mixing between additions add cauliflower, carrots, red bell peppers, green peas, and tofu and cook until soft.

5. Lastly, add broccoli and cook to your desired preference. I like my broccoli al-dente but I know many like wilted.

Serve with your favorite sides. I like to serve over white or brown rice and top with toasted black sesame flakes.
