CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE [AIP RECIPE]

Enter Cauliflower Fried Rice: The Healthy Hero

Let’s discuss a dish called circular fried rice, which is instant food rice. It is everything I love about regular fried rice, but without any guide.

Honestly, though, it tastes so good that I no longer crave the real thing.

The most noticeable change? Grated cauliflower replaces white Rice.

Cauliflower, though, has this uncanny way of making you feel like it is indeed Rice, and once seasoned rice is cooked, you would hardly be able to tell the difference.

The best thing is that cauliflower rice will not spike blood sugar levels. It is low in carbohydrates and high in fiber, so you feel full for a more extended period without that sugar roller coaster.

It also contains a lot of vitamins and antioxidants, so, in essence, it benefits your body.

Healthier Oils and Flavorful Add-Ins

Next up is the oil. Instead of the harmful oils you usually find in takeout, I am using either coconut or both.

They have lots of good heart in them, and they also add a pleasant taste that complements the other components. Your heart will love you for it.

Rather than drowning my fried Rice in soy sauce, I use coconut aminos instead.

They are the soy sauce cousin but a healthier version.

They are still delicious but much lower in sodium. They compliment the entire dish without making one lick.

Then comes the fun part: the veggies and protein. I am fond of adding new vegetables to my cauliflower fried Rice to use what I have.

In the last instance, I used bell peppers, carrots, peas, and spinach. Sometimes, I use chicken, shrimp, or even tofu.

There are no strange meats here, just good, nourishing ingredients that suit your body.

How to Make My Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe

Ingredients

Instructions

1. If you prepare your cauliflower rice from scratch, process the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Store-bought works perfectly well, too.
2. Pour olive oil into a large frying pan and heat over a medium flame. Next, add diced celery, mushrooms, white onion chunks, chopped broccoli, and minced garlic. Cook the vegetables until tender with little bits of brown edges. This method adds more flavour.
3. Turn the heat up to medium-high and add the cauliflower rice. Cook it, stirring occasionally, until the rice is golden brown and the recipe is on the edges (5-7 minutes).
4. Add the chopped peel-off zucchini and spinach. Produce for two to three minutes until the spinach wilts and the zucchini becomes soft.
5. It is time to add the chopped herbs, dried thyme, and sesame seeds. Allow everything to brown for another minute.
6. In a small mixing bowl, combine coconut aminos, honey, and the zest from lemon toward the sauce. Baste over the cauliflower rice and vegetables, followed by an excellent mix to cover all pieces of food with the sauce evenly.
7. Season to taste and correct as necessary. If you find it too bland, add more coconut aminos or lemon zest, depending on your preferences.
8. Serve warm and warm to your healthy and delightful cauliflower fried Rice!

Tips for the Best Rice flower Fried Rice

• Prep in advance: I chop all my veggies and sometimes make the caller. This trouble when I am in a hurry.
• Let the veggies caramelize: This step is crucial, and you should never skip it! Getting the veggies with some browning takes the dish to another level.
• Get the rice crispy: To achieve the right crisp, spread the cauliflower rice evenly into the pan, and do not keep stirring the pan often. This will help crust it well around the edges.
• Customize the herbs: What fresh herbs did I use last time? I changed the herbs; the parsley brightened, while the cilantro was more tangy. Be adventurous and see which combinations work best for you.

What is the Autoimmune Protocol (AIP) Diet?

Before we delve into the recipe, let us discuss why this version is excellent for those on the Autoimmune Protocol Diet (AIP).

The AIP diet is like the Paleolithic specific civic manner. It treats inflammatory conditions, gut health, and other autoimmune diseases.

In some instances, inflammatory foods like grains, dairy, refined sugar, nuts, and seeds are excluded. Instead, the focus is on whole foods that aid tissue repair and promote health.

For someone like me who has to watch his dietary choices, developing ways to tweak comfort foods to fit into this diet has been not just a help but quite literally a lifesaver.

These apple snickerdoodles are AIP-compliant, meaning they do not contain gluten, dairy, or processed sugar and are perfect for those with Auto-Immunity disease.
