Ingredients

• 1 large head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small, diced onion
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 2 dried nori seaweed sheets
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons, chopped green onions
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the green leaves and core from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into florets.

Step 2

In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains. Do this in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.

Step 3

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for an additional minute, until fragrant.

Step 5

Crumble the nori sheets into small pieces and add them to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the onion and garlic.

Step 6

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Season the mixture with soy sauce, sesame oil, sea salt, and black pepper. Stir to ensure the cauliflower is evenly coated.

Step 8

Continue to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped green onions.

Step 10

Transfer the low carb rice with seaweed to a serving dish and garnish with sesame seeds.

Step 11

Serve immediately while hot.
