Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 200 ml Coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon Turmeric powder
- 1 Lemongrass stalk, bruised
- 2 Kaffir lime leaves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 Shallots, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
Directions
Step 1
Begin by washing and drying the cauliflower head. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.
Step 2
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and shallots, sautéing them until they are fragrant and translucent, approximately 3 minutes.
Step 3
Add the turmeric powder to the skillet and stir well to coat the garlic and shallots.
Step 4
Stir in the cauliflower rice to the skillet, mixing well to ensure the turmeric evenly colors everything.
Step 5
Pour the coconut milk into the skillet, then add the bruised lemongrass stalk and kaffir lime leaves. Stir to combine all ingredients.
Step 6
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper, adjusting according to your taste.
Step 7
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
Step 8
Once the cauliflower rice is cooked through and aromatic, remove from heat. Discard the lemongrass stalk and kaffir lime leaves before serving.
Step 9
Transfer the Low Carb Nasi Kuning to a serving dish and enjoy alongside your favorite low-carb side dishes or protein.
