Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 sheets dried seaweed sheets (nori)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and chop the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Do this in batches if necessary to ensure even processing.
Step 2
Chop the dried seaweed sheets into small pieces using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 5
Stir in the chopped seaweed, soy sauce (or tamari), and salt. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 1 minute to combine the flavors.
Step 6
Drizzle the sesame oil over the cauliflower rice and mix thoroughly.
Step 7
Remove from heat and transfer the keto rice with seaweed to a serving bowl.
Step 8
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
