I love fried rice. Fried rice does not love me back. The rice causes inflammation in my joints and leaves me feeling too full and groggy. It is never worth it to eat the rice. This recipe uses finely chopped cauliflower that is seasoned like fried rice. My family happily eats it all the time in the place of rice. I use green giant frozen pre-chopped cauliflower for speed and ease of clean up.

Ingredients
- 4 cups of finely chopped frozen cauliflower
- 5 slices of Bacon
- 1 oz reserved bacon grease
- 1/2 tsp Chinese 5 star spice
- 25 ml coconut aminos
- 5 ml red boat fish sauce
- 3 chopped green onions
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper to taste
Equipment:
- Cast Iron Pan ( I LOVE LODGE! This is such a great investment and its cheap too !)
- Wooden spoon / scraper
- splatter guard (get a metal one if you don’t already have one unless you like to clean up grease splatters.)
Instructions:
Chop the bacon into little pieces and fry in a cast iron skillet until crispy. Set the bacon aside. Drain the bacon grease and reserve about half of it in the skillet. Store the other half of the bacon grease in a jar for later.
Add the cauliflower to the cast iron skillet and saute in the bacon grease until tender. (about 3-5 minutes)
Whisk a dash of coconut aminos and the egg together in a separate bowl. make a well in the center of the cauliflower and drop the scrambled egg in the well. Cook the egg until it sets. scrape the egg up and stir it into the cauliflower mixture.
Add onions, bacon and other seasonings and sauces. Cook for another 1-2 minutes. Serve hot. This dish goes well with my Chinese Ketchup Chicken.
