Cauliflower Fried Rice

This sounded interesting.  It is for one serving but I know you can multiple it up to whatever you want to do.  I know that a lot of people use Cauliflower instead of potatoes but I never thought about substituting it for rice.  excuse the weird formatting please.  I did something and haven't figured out how to undo it yet.  lol.  Anyway here is the recipe.....

Cauliflower Fried Rice

Grated cauliflower instead of rice is both delicious and low carb.

Ingredients

• 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 large egg
• 1 cup cauliflower, grated
• 2 tsps garlic
• 1/4 cup chopped scallions

Directions

1. Grate the cauliflower using either the largest holes on a hand grater or with the grating blade in food processor. The results should almost resemble the size of cooked white rice.
2. Heat oil to cover the bottom of a small skillet on medium-high.
3. Quickly stir-fry the white of the onions and the garlic. Watch closely so as not to burn.
4. Add the cauliflower; fry about 4-5 minutes, stirring constantly until it begins to color a bit. Don't overcook or it might get mushy.
5. Stir in the soy sauce. Push the cauliflower to one side of the pan; pour in the beaten egg.
6. Lightly scramble the egg briefly then mix into the cauliflower.
7. Add the green onion tops and toss.
8. Note: add some chicken and make it a meal!
