Cauliflower Fried Rice & Pork Bowls

A lightened-up version of flavorful fried rice, all served in a fabulous one-dish-dinner. Serve with protein on top for a main dish, or without for a side.

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 teaspoons olive oil divided
  • 2/3 cup diced onion
  • 1/2 red bell pepper diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
  • 2-3 cloves garlic minced or pressed
  • 4 cups crumbled cauliflower
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups bagged coleslaw cabbage mix
  • 3-4 tablespoons chopped green onion
  • 3-4 tablespoons chopped cilantro
  • Optional: Shredded Kalua Pork

Instructions

  • Heat an extra large saute pan to medium heat. Add 1 1/2 teaspoons olive oil and swirl to coat pan. Add onion and bell pepper and cook for 4-5 minutes, until tender. Add both ginger and garlic and saute about 1 minute, until fragrant.
  • Drizzle in remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil and add cauliflower. Increase heat by just a bit and toss to cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Move mixture to one side of pan and add shredded cabbage mix to the other side. (I often give the cabbage a spray of nonstick spray, which helps it cook and brown better- or an extra drizzle of olive oil.) Cook for about 2 minutes until just wilted and slightly brown on edges.
  • Turn heat off and mix everything together. Stir in green onion and cilantro. Taste, and season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
  • Divide into servings and top with pork if desired.
  • Yields: 2-3 large main dish servings or 4-6 side dishes.
