Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 1 cup coconut milk
• 2 leaves bay leaves
• 1 stalk lemongrass stalk
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 medium shallots
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 cup water
• 2 tablespoons coconut oil

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the stem and leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into large florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice grains. This might take about 30 seconds to a minute. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. While the oil is heating, peel and finely slice the shallots and garlic.

Step 3

Add the sliced shallots, garlic, and bay leaves to the pan. Stir and cook until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 4

Lightly crush the lemongrass stalk with the back of a knife to release its flavor, and add it to the pan. Continue to stir and cook for another minute.

Step 5

Pour in the coconut milk and water, then add the salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients in the pan.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the pan, stirring to coat it with the coconut milk mixture.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 8

After the cauliflower rice has cooked, remove the lemongrass stalk and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 9

Serve the Whole30 Nasi Uduk immediately, optionally garnished with some fresh herbs like cilantro or sliced green onions for extra flavor.
