Cauliflower Fried Rice

This cauliflower fried “rice” was the star of the show at last weeks Sydney Fitness + Health Show. It’s one of my favorite meals to make at home and it takes around 5 minutes to create.

My secret is to use a generous amount of anti-inflammatory aromatics. Ginger and turmeric are king and take center stage in the beginning of creating this wonderful meal.

You’ll also notice I haven’t used any garlic – I find it overpowers the punchy clean flavors of this dish, so please don’t be tempted to use it.

It’s also important to have all your ingredients prepared and ready to go before you begin to make the dish – mise en plus is the key to every chef’s success to be organised and be prepared.

A splash of coconut water deglazes the pan, releasing all the toasted aroma from the aromatics, if you happen to have a fresh young coconut on hand, it’s also lovely to fold through the creamy coconut flesh at the very end before serving.

What’s great about this particular cauliflower fried rice recipe?

The ingredients have been especially selected to help boost metabolism, digestion and your immune system. Cauliflower is a good source of the cancer-fighting agents known as glucosinolates. Cauliflower is also rich in sulphur that works as an anti-inflammatory. It also supports healthy digestion and boosts your immune system.

Parsley, mint and coriander help to stimulate digestive function and support the liver to detoxify the body.

Curcumin is the active ingredient in turmeric, responsible for the distinct yellow coloring and the impressive list of health properties. Turmeric has been linked to the prevention of cancer cell growth and management of inflammatory conditions such as arthritis, asthma, eczema and inflammatory bowel disease. It is a nutritional powerhouse, rich in manganese, zinc, B group vitamins and iron.

Ginger has potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties. It helps to boost immune function and combat cellular damage. Organic egg and almonds boost protein that your body needs to build and repair cells in the body.

Other proteins that work well with this dish are white fish and organic chicken.

Enjoy this delicious cauliflower fried rice recipe!
