Cauliflower Fried "Rice"
I saw a blurb the other day about grating raw cauliflower in the food processor and then microwaving it for a few minutes to cook it. It was used as a substitution for rice.
I used it to make fried rice and was very pleased with the results.
1 head of cauliflower (grate in the food processor or by hand and cook in the microwave for about 3 minutes in 1.5 cup batches)
.5 cup of cooked meat (I used chicken) chopped into small pieces
.25 cup of egg beaters (you can use whole egg)
1 tbsp. oyster flavor saucer
.5 cup frozen peas
.5 tsp sesame oil
-mix the oyster sauce withthe egg beaters and set aside.
-heat a non-stick wok or pan. when it's ready add the cooked cauliflower and let it sit for a second or two so that it gets a bit toasty.
-add the peas and chicken to the cauliflower and stir gently (You don't want the cauliflower to mush)
-pour on the egg with oyster sauce mix and stir it in gently.
-cook until egg is done and the cauliflower is heated through.
-sprinkle on the sesame oil and serve.
Enjoy! :-)

Why not just eat the rice?
Some people are on low carb based diets. When thats the case rice is not part of a balanced diet.0 -

I can't eat the rice because it spikes my blood sugar. So yes, now I eat miracle noodles and cauliflower as substitutes.0

I do a similar recipe, but I just fry the cauliflower from raw, no need to microwave it I find. Did a lovely one with prawns and teriyaki sauce the other day.
ETA: I'm not a low carber, but I don't think anyone can argue that a bowl of veges is bad for you lol0 -

My husband is diabetic and we have been looking for good substitutes for starch in our diet as well. This sounds like a great idea given he loves cauliflower. Thanks for the idea. Also, I would love to hear where you buy your miracle noodles, and what the carbohydrates look like in them per serving.0
