Fake it 'Til You Make it! NewMeMD 's Cauliflower "Fried Rice"

Loaded with vitamin C, cauliflower is known for its potential cancer-fighting properties and (of course) its fresh, crisp texture.

This delicious fried rice recipe from our NewMeMD wellness team (which calls for cauliflower instead of the actual grains) will trick your taste buds into thinking you're indulging on a carb-laden dish from the Far East... but it's actually low in carbs, and only high in... FLAVOR!

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Ingredients
-1 medium head (about 24 oz) cauliflower, rinsed
-1 tbsp sesame oil
-2 egg whites
-1 large egg
-pinch of salt
-cooking spray
-1/2 small onion, diced fine
-1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
-2 garlic cloves, minced
-5 scallions, diced, whites and greens separated
-3 tbsp liquid aminos

Directions
1. Remove the core and let the cauliflower dry completely. Coarsely chop into florets, then place half of the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous – don't over process or it will get mushy. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.

2. Combine egg and egg whites in a small bowl and beat with a fork. Season with salt.

3. Heat a large saute pan or wok over medium heat and spray with oil. Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set; set aside.

4. Add the sesame oil and saute onions, scallion whites, peas and carrots and garlic about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft.

5. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower "rice" to the saute pan along with liquid aminos. Mix, cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Add the egg then remove from heat and mix in scallion greens.
