Ingredients for this Gluten Free Vegan Fried Rice:

- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 4 long carrots, diced
- 1 teaspoons of red pepper flakes (or add to taste, optional)

Directions for this Gluten Free Vegan Fried Rice:
- Start with “ricing” the cauliflower. You can cut off the bottom of the cauliflower and then I like to cut it into four pieces then remove any stems or hard inner parts. Once you are only working with florets then if needed you can grind up by hand then a grater or in a food processor. Once you have rice-like piles, you should have anywhere from 4-8 cups of rice. Place in bowl and set aside.
- Heat your sesame oil on medium heat in a large non-stick pan.
- Add garlic, carrots, red pepper flakes, cauliflower, peas, corn, onion and soy sauce. Stir often and cook for 10-12 minutes and then once everything is cooked and tender, serve hot!
To make a full meal out of this vegan fried rice recipe, add baked tofu or any other vegan patty recipe you love. You can also add even more veggies, like a prepackaged stir-fry veggie mix. You can even add your favorite actual rice to this dish! There are endless was to make this dish fit your needs. Either way this cauliflower will help you walk away with a lot of vitamin c, vitamin k, folate and a long list of other vitamins and minerals.
