Kimchi Fried Cauliflower "Rice"















(Makes 2-4 servings)

This was my first attempt at cauliflower rice, and it did live up to expectations. The texture is very close to real rice and the flavor is great. There are lot's of resources for making cauliflower rice on the web. I like the one from Everyday Maven, which also has handy instructions for freezing the cauliflower rice you don't use right away.

You can find kimchi (pickled cabbage) at Asian and specialty grocery stores. I usually buy it from Trader Joe's; look for it in the refrigerated section near the tofu. I have also seen versions at Whole Foods.

The ingredient list for this recipe is short:
1/2 large head of cauliflower, in chunks
2 cups kimchi, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 medium onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
1-2 tbsp soy sauce

Run cauliflower through food processor or grate into small pieces 
Saute onion and garlic in a pan until softened and slightly browned
Add kimchi and saute for about 5 mins until most of the liquid is gone
Add peas and cauliflower rice and saute until cauliflower is cooked, about 5-10 mins.
Finish with a splash of soy sauce

You could serve with a fried egg on top or make a simple egg omelette, cut into strips, and mix into the fried rice at the end.
