Prep Time 40 minutes
Cook Time 10 minutes
Total Time 50 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 large head cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
  • 2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
  • 1 small green chile, ribbed, seeded, and minced
  • 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
  • 4 teaspoons minced garlic (4 cloves)
  • 6 green onions, finely chopped (white and green parts)
  • 4 cups finely chopped shiitake mushrooms
  • 2 tablespoons wheat-free tamari plus more to taste
  • 1 bunch cilantro, finely chopped (1/2 cup)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lime juice, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon Celtic sea salt, plus more to taste

Instructions

  1. To make the cauliflower rice, roughly chop the cauliflower into florets, and discard the leaves and the tough middle core. Throw the cauliflower pieces into a food processor fitted with the S blade, and pulse a few seconds until the cauliflower is the consistency of rice. You should end up with about 5 to 6 cups of cauliflower “rice”.

  2. In a wok or deep skillet, heat the oil on medium-high heat, and sauté the chile, ginger, garlic, green onions, and mushrooms with 1⁄4 teaspoon of salt for about 5 minutes, until soft and well combined. Throw in the cauliflower rice and tamari, and sauté for a further 5 minutes, until softened. Stir in the cilantro, lime juice, and remaining 1⁄4 teaspoon of salt, and tweak flavors to taste.
