HOW TO PREPARE CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE
- The first thing to do is to shred your cauliflower into smaller pieces. You can make use of a kitchen knife to shred or the simplest way is to use the food and set aside.
- Wash the carrots and cut into cubes. Cut the Red ball pepper, grate the ginger, slice the onions and the garlic into smaller pieces and set aside.
- On a medium heat, place your wok or a sauce pan and add the olive oil. Fry the shrimps in the olive oil, add the 1/2 tsp of soy sauce and a dash of black pepper. Toast in the pan for about 5 minutes and until golden brown. Then remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add 2 tbsp of olive oil, add the sliced onions, minced garlic and ginger to saute. Allow to saute for about 2 minutes before going into the next step.
The above ingredients are the key ingredients that add flavour to the cauliflower fried rice which makes the end result outstanding.
- The next thing is to add the carrots, green peas, red ball pepper, and stir together, stir to fry until a little bit tender. Add the shredded cauliflower, stir everything together until well combined.
- Clear an open spot in the side of the sauce pan to add the scrambled eggs. Then stir well into the mixture. Add soy sauce and black pepper, then sprinkle your spring onions for additional healthy flavour.
- Mix everything together and leave to fry for about 5 minutes and reduce the heat.
- Then serve hot by topping with the shrimps and enjoy!
HOW TO PRESERVE CAULIFLOWER RICE
Cauliflower fried rice can be preserved in the refrigerator for up to 6 days without going bad. But if you want to preserve it for longer days, then consider packing it in a container and put in the freezer.
It can stay in the freezer as long as you want it to stay.
