Today's recipe is another quick and simple meal. We love Asian food but eating out is expensive. Making this dish at home also allows us to control the ingredients and flavors. I normally serve this type of dish with my homemade egg drop soup. It's so simple you'll wonder why you ever bought it from a restaurant!
Stir Fried Cauli Rice
Serves 4-6. PrepTime 10 mins Cook time 10-12.
1batch cauli rice
1small onion chopped
1cup peas
1cup carrots chopped small
2T olive oil
1-2 T sesame oil
1 t fish sauce
1teaspoon Chinese 5spice (optional)
S&P
2-3eggs
Coconut Aminos or Tamari. If you can't find either one of these look for liquid
aminos or low sodium msg-free soy sauce
1-2cups Diced meat or seafood (optional)
Instructions
Heat olive oil on medium high heat
Add cauli rice, carrots and onions
Stir often. 4-5 mins
Add peas, sesame oil, coconut aminos, fish sauce, seasonings. Stir well
Whisk eggs and pour them into the mix while stirring.
Once well mixed this dish is ready to serve!
Egg Drop Soup
Aprox 4servings Total time less than 10 minutes
1quart bone broth or stock
2-3 eggs -whisked
1. Pour bone broth into a sauce pan, heat medium to a gentle boil
2. Slowly pour the eggs into the broth while whisking gently.
3. Some recipes recommend sautéing a diced onion in the pot before pouring in the
broth. This also tastes very nice but will add and extra 5 minutes to your cook
time.
Thoughts
If you don't have a wok don't worry it's not hard to stir fry in a flat pan. You will just need to stir more often.
Why the fish sauce? A couple years ago I was reading about making Asian foods taste more authentic. One blogger recommended fish sauce. This little addition is amazing! I add just a couple splashes which probably equals 1/2-1teaspoon.
