Flavorful Cauliflower Fried Rice that is great for digestion
Quite often my ginger and lemongrass dry up before I use it. (I need to pay attention more to what I have in my fridge!) I wanted to make some cauliflower fried rice but didn’t have any fresh lemongrass or ginger. I had both Ginger & Lemongrass Vitality essential oils that are good for culinary so thought I’d try them. It really punched up the flavor. It was fabulous. My kids thought it tasted just like the hot & spicy chicken dish from their favorite Vietnamese restaurant. They ate the whole pan! Great way to eat more vegetables. Try it.
Cauliflower Fried Rice
Olive oil
2 cloves minced garlic,
1 onion, chopped
1 small head of cauliflower, minced or pkg. shredded
1 egg (whisked)
2 carrots, chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 tsp. sesame oil
Tamari or soy sauce
1 drop Young Living Ginger Vitality oil
2 drops Young Living Lemongrass Vitality oil
Chopped shrimp, chicken or tofu, (optional)
Sauté onion in a little olive oil. Add garlic and continue to cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add cauliflower and stir fry. Add chopped carrots, peas and additional protein if desired. Season with pepper. Add egg and quickly stir fry. Turn burner off.
Put essential oils in glass measuring cup. Add tamari and stir. I use about 1/3 cup tamari. Add to stir fry and stir.
Lemongrass & Ginger Vitality oils support digestion besides adding great flavor.
Note - Remember essential oils are very strong. You only want 1 drop of Ginger Vitality or can over power the dish. Hold the bottle level & allow only 1 drop to fall. You can also take off the stopper & use a toothpick or eyedropper for accuracy.
There are 80 drops to a bottle so it is quite inexpensive to use. I am no longer throwing out fresh ginger & lemongrass.
Tip: You can easily shred cauliflower in your food processor including the core. You can also buy shredded cauliflower in the store.
Quality Matters when using essential oils for culinary. They have great health benefits beside flavor. Add Citrus Vitality oils to salad dressings, guacamole or hummus for amazing flavor.
