Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Soy sauce (low-sodium)
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 1 teaspoon Lime juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Break the cauliflower into florets and wash thoroughly. Pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
Using a food processor or a box grater, grate the cauliflower florets until they resemble grains of rice. Set aside.
Peel and finely mince the fresh ginger and garlic cloves.
Slice the green onions, separating the white parts from the green tops, and set aside.
In a large skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and allow it to warm up.
Add the minced ginger and garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the white parts of the green onions and continue to sauté for another minute.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the grated cauliflower to the skillet.
Stir in the low-sodium soy sauce and lime juice. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
Season with salt and black pepper, stirring occasionally, and cook for about 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Remove from heat and garnish with the sliced green tops of the onions.
Serve hot as a side dish or as a base for other low-carb meals.
