Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Toasted sesame seeds
- 2 Nori sheets
- 2 tablespoons Spring onions (green parts only)
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Wash and roughly chop the cauliflower, then place the florets in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil.
Once the oil is warm, add the processed cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir in the sea salt, garlic powder, and onion powder. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
While the cauliflower is cooking, stack the nori sheets and cut them into thin strips using kitchen scissors or a sharp knife.
Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, reduce the heat to low and stir in the coconut aminos.
Remove the skillet from the heat and gently fold in the nori strips and toasted sesame seeds.
Garnish with chopped spring onions before serving.
Serve immediately as a side dish or a light main course. Enjoy your Whole30-friendly meal full of flavor and texture.
