Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Break the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice grains, working in batches if necessary. Set aside.
Step 2
Grate the fresh ginger using a microplane or the small holes of a box grater. Mince the garlic cloves finely. Trim and slice the green onions, keeping the white and light green parts separate from the darker green tops.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and grated ginger. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 4
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook while stirring frequently for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden.
Step 5
Stir in the coconut aminos, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste. If desired, increase the heat to slightly caramelize the cauliflower rice.
Step 6
Add the white and light green parts of the green onions. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to soften them.
Step 7
Remove from the heat and sprinkle the darker green slices of the green onions on top as a garnish.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a side dish or as a base for your favorite Whole30 meals.
