Vegan Cauliflower Fried "Rice"

Cauliflower is truly the chameleon of vegetables. This sneaky little vegetable can disguise itself as mashed potatoes, couscous and rice.  I had seen some recipes pop up using the couscous or rice style of cooking cauliflower, and I just could not believe how much it actually resembled it until I gave it a try myself.

Feel free to change up the veggies or even add eggs for a more traditional style Fried Rice. Top with your favorite protein like shrimp, chicken or tofu for a heartier meal.

Ingredients
1 head cauliflower
1 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp olive oil
1 Tbsp minced ginger
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1/2 cup diced carrots
1 large zucchini, halved and sliced
1 cup frozen corn
1 cup frozen peas
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1/4 cup chopped almonds
3 Tbsp low sodium soy sauce



1. Cut the cauliflower into florets removing the stems. Add florets to a food processor and pulse until cauliflower breaks down to look like rice. Set aside.
2. In a large wok or skillet, heat both sesame and olive oil over medium heat. Add ginger and garlic and saute until fragrant, 2 min. Add carrots and saute until soft, 5 min. Add zucchini, corn, peas and scallions. Toss all ingredients together and cook another 2 min.
3. Add cauliflower, toss and cover for 5-7 minutes to cook cauliflower and defrost vegetables.
4. Add almonds and soy sauce. Toss together. (Add more soy sauce if you want a stronger flavor).
