Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 3 sheets dried seaweed sheets (nori)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
- 2 stalks green onions, sliced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free option)
Instructions
Wash and chop the cauliflower into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Do this in batches if necessary to ensure even processing.
Chop the dried seaweed sheets into small pieces using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir well and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Stir in the chopped seaweed, soy sauce (or tamari), and salt. Mix everything well and cook for an additional 1 minute to combine the flavors.
Drizzle the sesame oil over the cauliflower rice and mix thoroughly.
Remove from heat and transfer the keto rice with seaweed to a serving bowl.
Sprinkle with sesame seeds and sliced green onions before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your keto-friendly meal!
