Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 leaves bay leaves
- 1 stalk lemongrass stalk
- 3 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 medium shallots
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 cup water
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the stem and leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into large florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until the texture resembles rice grains. This might take about 30 seconds to a minute. Set aside.
In a large frying pan or skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. While the oil is heating, peel and finely slice the shallots and garlic.
Add the sliced shallots, garlic, and bay leaves to the pan. Stir and cook until the shallots are translucent and the garlic is fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.
Lightly crush the lemongrass stalk with the back of a knife to release its flavor, and add it to the pan. Continue to stir and cook for another minute.
Pour in the coconut milk and water, then add the salt. Stir well to combine all the ingredients in the pan.
Add the cauliflower rice to the pan, stirring to coat it with the coconut milk mixture.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for about 10-12 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and the flavors are well combined. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.
After the cauliflower rice has cooked, remove the lemongrass stalk and bay leaves. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve the Whole30 Nasi Uduk immediately, optionally garnished with some fresh herbs like cilantro or sliced green onions for extra flavor.
