Fried Rice

As you all may have heard "Cauliflower", has recently gained a great reputation from all the great chefs around as been the new rice, potato or any neutral non- starchy "carb".  I of course have been experimenting with it and have come out with a simple healthy, Fried Rice.  As always I am a great believer in using whatever I have available at the time of cooking therefore; my recipe may change
from time to time, (left overs are great for this).

                                                           Fried Rice

 Ingredients                                                                                                                 Serves 2-4

•   1/2 head of cauliflower 
•   1/2 C carrots - cut 1/4" square
•   1/2 C celery - cut 1/4" squares
•   2 garlic cloves - finely diced
•   2 eggs 
•   1 C green vegetable - peas, broccoli, snap peas, beans
•   1/4 C soy sauce  
•   2 t fish sauce (Tiparos)  
•   1 T cooking oil of choice
•   1/2 - 1 C - chopped left over chicken, fish, pork, etc.  (optional)
•   1/2 t black pepper                                     

Preparation:  In food processor, chop cauliflower to the consistency of large rice grains.  Heat oil and stir fry all raw vegetables including cauliflower for about 2 minutes; do not over cook, you want bright crisp vegetables.
In small bowl beat the eggs with a little bit of water, in another frying pan or in the same one if large enough, make a simple omelet, lightly cooked (don't brown edges) and cut into small pieces with spatula.  Mix vegetables, eggs and extra protein in frying pan then add soy sauce, fish sauce and pepper until all ingredients are warm, about 1-2 minutes.  And that it's it, simple.

When plating I like to add chopped green onion and cilantro on top.  If you like a bit of Thai style fried rice add, fresh diced tomatoes, cucumbers, cilantro and of course green onions and a little 
hot sauce such as Sriracha or Tapatio, Enjoy!
