Panda’s Fried Rice with Cauliflower Rice (Copy-Cat)

Panda’s Fried Rice with Cauliflower Rice (Copy-Cat)

Ingredients
  

  • 1 (16 oz) bag Trader Joe’s or Green Giant riced cauliflower or 1 medium head cauliflower, see shopping tips
  • 3 eggs
  • Cooking Spray
  • 1 tablespoon canola oil or olive oil
  • 1 cup onions, diced
  • 1 cup celery, chopped
  • 2 teaspoons garlic, minced
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, not thawed, see shopping tips
  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce (use wheat-free soy sauce for Paleo or Gluten-free) see shopping tips
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil, see shopping tips
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

  • If you are using a bag of already prepare riced cauliflower, skip this first step. Otherwise, wash and dry the cauliflower. Remove core and coarsely chop into florets. Blot with paper towels to completely dry. Place half of cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous. Be sure to not over process or it will get mushy. Add to a large bowl. Repeat processing with remaining cauliflower. Or, using the largest holes on a box cheese grater, grate each cauliflower floret into small pieces, similar to the size of a grain of rice. Set aside.
  • In a small bowl, add eggs and beat with a fork. Set aside.
  • Coat a large nonstick pan or wok with cooking spray. Add canola oil and heat over medium-high heat. Stir in cauliflower rice, onions, celery, and garlic. Stir-fry for 4 minutes. Stir most of the time.
  • Add in frozen peas/carrots, (breaking them up) and soy sauce. Cook for about 3 minutes until heated through, continuously tossing gently to coat while cooking all the ingredients.
  • Push mixture to sides of pan or wok. Coat the open side of pan with more cooking spray. Add eggs to that side of pan. Cook and stir about 1-2 minutes, until the eggs are completely cooked. It’s ok if some of the cauliflower mixture gets scrambled in. Mix scrambled eggs into cauliflower mixture. Make sure to break up the egg, into small pieces. Add sesame oil, a little black pepper and stir fry ingredients all together.
  • Serve immediately or store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. This dish freezes great too.
