So I'm definitely not a follower of Paleo / Ancestral diet but I've never been a fan of RICE (the only rice I like is wild rice and that's not even legitimately "rice;" it's actually a type of grass, which probably explains why I like it), so I decided to give this cauliflower fried "rice" version a shot! (Thanks, Nomnompaleo! I got the idea from her, check out her blog!)
So this was my first time trying this and I don't normally cook, so it might not be that pretty but I must say it turned out well! Quite tasty, indeed.
Nomnompaleo used a food processor, but I'm ghetto and used a butcher's cleaver haha! It got the job done anyways.
I also don't ever measure out quantities, so my "recipe" was whatever was available in the fridge and I played it by ear.
Ingredients:
1/2 of a white onion, diced
4 cloves of garlic, smashed and diced
1/2 of a ginger root, diced
1 carrot, diced
1/2 tomato, diced
1/4 head of cabbage, diced
1 cauliflower bunch, diced
3 eggs, beaten
1 chicken breast
Condiments:
Lots of black sesame oil (the cooking oil, probably not 'Paleo' but I like the taste)
Two dashes of rice vinegar
A few splashes of aged soy sauce
Freshly grated black pepper to taste
Some dried parsley leaves for garnish
Lots of green scallions and cilantro for garnish
(Lots of bio-available, high-quality, 'whole' protein too from the chicken and eggs, it's 'Paleo' after all.)
Check out the photos of the cooking process:

Starting Material. (My mom cut up the cauliflower into florets last night; I did all the rest today.) |
After dicing the cauliflower using a butcher's cleaver (ghetto style). |
Some of the other cooking materials. |
I'm Taiwanese after all, so I used a shitload of garlic and ginger! |
Still cooking... |
Just about done! Just need to add some aged soy sauce and freshly grated black pepper! |
Taken with the flash. |
In the serving bowl. |
This looks delicious. I could get behind this.
