Veggie Fried Cauliflower “Rice”

Like my dad’s fried rice, except with riced cauliflower (It’s great! So is regular rice. This recipe works with the real stuff too!) and added turmeric for glowed-up skin. Dad didn’t care if his food made his skin look good, but not everyone’s effortlessly beautiful like you, old man. // Makes roughly 4 c.

  • 1 head cauliflower, washed and patted dry, cut into florets
  • 1 small onion
  • 1 stick celery
  • 2 carrots
  • 2-3 cloves garlic
  • few dashes turmeric
  • few cracks of black pepper
  • 1 T soy sauce
  • salt (to taste)
  • food processor

1. Finely dice onion, celery, and carrots. Mince garlic well. The vegetables in this recipe can be swapped out or supplemented with others, but I love using onions/carrots/garlic as a base.
2. In a food processor, blend cauliflower florets until roughly grated to make “rice.” Pat out some excess moisture with a paper towel.
3. In a pan over medium heat, saute finely-diced veg of choice in a smidge of oil until fragrant.
4. Stir in riced and (somewhat dry) cauliflower.
5. Add a few dashes of turmeric and a few cracks of black pepper. Pairing turmeric with a pinch of black pepper makes the curcumin in the turmeric (anti-inflammatory property) more bioavailable!
6. Add ~1 T soy sauce, stir, and salt to taste. Enjoy!
