How do you make cauliflower into rice?
To make cauliflower into rice, it’s really easy. Simply wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly before cutting it into smaller florets. You can either hand grate it, or put the cut florets into the food processor and pulse until the cauliflowers becomes rice-like sizes. Do take note not to over process it in case it turns too marshy, and make sure the cauliflower is very dry before grating it.
Raw cauliflower rice can be stored in an air tight container for up to 4 days in the fridge. However I find it a tad too raw and by stir frying it like normal fried rice, it really tastes much better.
With normal fried rice, I tend to control the portion. But with cauliflower fried rice, I found that I need to eat a bigger portion in order to feel full.
In this recipe, I used very basic ingredients, just cooking oil, garlic, salt and pepper. You can also add meat, eggs, other kind of vegetables. For seasoning, you can also add other aromatics, soy sauce, mushroom sauce or oyster sauce.
I typically drink soup with cauliflower fried rice, try out this diary-free ginger roasted pumpkin soup recipe.
