Title: Run Amok!
Post by: harmony on March 08, 2013, 08:44:57 PM

Thank you for posting this site in the spaghetti squash thread in yammering:

urbanposer.blogspot.com

because this recipe is amazing!

I made it for dinner tonight and it was incredible.  I changed it a little, no eggs since DH hates them and used tofurkey kielbasa because I'm not a sausage fan.  Holy moly, I wish I'd made twice as much so there were leftovers!

Yes, that looks really good. I am getting the ingredients for that today...  Thanks, RA.

That looks really good.  I had a big head of cauliflower with no particular destiny.  Just picked up the other ingredients (except for the asparagus, dangit), so this is going to be Sunday dinner.

I was wondering if I could use my blender to rice the cauliflower.  Googled up this video.  Haha, she's kind of funny.  Puh-LAYo :)  Gonna give this method a try.

Are you in the wrong thread? Or thinking of making this with cauliflower instead of spaghetti squash?

RA, they followed your link to the spaghetti squash and ended up finding the cauliflower fried 'rice'

Made this tonight. Loved the flavor but wonder if I over processed the cauliflower ... It was almost mushy before adding veggies and didn't have too much texture after it was all mixed. Any tips on the ricing?

a lot of people look quite short when standing next to their kitchen counters.

I did the same thing.  Stop blending before you think you should, and it comes out perfect.

I made this for lunch today. I grated the cauliflower instead of food processing it. It was *good* but it wasn't anything close to fried rice.  :D More like stir-fried veggies with eggs. Since I'm not paleo I'd toss in some farro next time for that rice texture plus fiber and protein. I do splurge on real fried rice sometimes though. It's so worth it!

I used a slightly different method than their two-pan nonsense. I "riced" the cauliflower and then diced up some garlic, ginger, and shallot and mixed that in. Cooked the whole thing over high heat and a hot pan until it was all brown and even a little burnt. Put that aside on a plate. Allow pan to heat again; add the asparagus, edamame, peas and cook until a bit charred. Make well, scramble eggs. Toss in the cauliflower mixture and top with soy sauce, sesame oil, and a bit of unseasoned rice vinegar. Yum yum!
