Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower
• 200 ml coconut milk
• 100 ml water
• 1 lemongrass stalk
• 2 bay leaf
• 2 kafir lime leaves
• 1 inch piece ginger
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the outer leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into smaller chunks. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like texture. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the lemongrass stalk by first lightly smashing it with the back of a knife to release its oils, and place it in the pan.

Step 4

Add the bay leaves, kafir lime leaves, and ginger piece to the pan.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and water, and stir to combine with the spices.

Step 6

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and gently stir to combine all ingredients.

Step 7

Sprinkle salt over the cauliflower mixture, adjusting to taste as needed.

Step 8

Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 to 12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender and has absorbed the flavors.

Step 9

Once done, remove the lemongrass, bay leaves, kafir lime leaves, and ginger piece from the pan before serving.

Step 10

Serve the Low Carb Nasi Uduk hot, paired with your favorite Indonesian dishes or by itself as a flavorful, aromatic low-carb side dish.
