Jalapeño Ginger Cauliflower Rice

5 from 1 vote
Cauliflower rice is a delicious low-carb side dish, perfect to go alongside any meal
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 12 minutes
Total Time: 22 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower grated with a box grater
  • 1 jalapeño seeded and finely chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated
  • ½ cup full-fat canned coconut milk* from the can
  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt to taste*

Instructions

  • Remove the green stems from the cauliflower and cut it in half. Using a box grater, grate the whole head of cauliflower.
  • Peel fresh ginger and grate it using the fine side of the box grater until you have about 1 tablespoon’s worth.
  • In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut milk over medium and add the jalapeno.
  • Sauté for a minute then add the grated ginger, sautéing another minute or so.
  • Add the grated cauliflower and stir everything together, allowing the cauliflower to soften.
  • Once everything is fragrant and some of the liquid has burned off, turn the heat up to high and stir constantly. This will allow the cauliflower rice to get a nice crust on it for flavor.
  • The rice is done when it has cooked down, is softened and has a little bit of a crisp on the outside.
  • Serve in the same way you would regular rice!

Notes

*I used a scant teaspoon of salt, but that may be too salty for some folks. Start with ½ a teaspoon and go from there.
