Spicy Cauliflower Oil Free Fried Rice

• 1 cup cauliflower rice ( homemade or store bought)
• ½ cup edamame (check notes)
• ½ red onion finely chopped
• ½ tbsp tomatoe paste
• 2 chopped shiitake mushroom
• 1/cup red peppers
• ½ cup crumbled form tofu (drained excess water)
• 3 cloves of garlic finely chopped
• 1 green chili (finely chopped)
• 1 lightly packed Cajun spice blend (easy to find in store or online)
• ½ Lemon juice

   

  Method

  Heat a pan and stir in the onion and garlic.
  Sauté for 2-3 minutes on low heat.
  If you find the onions sticking, sprinkle some water and stir.
  Once the onions are light brown, add in the tomato paste.
  Stir and add the tofu and the veggies. Stir them well.
  Use very little amount of water if you find the tomato paste too thick.
  Also add the Cajun spice. Adding just a tiny amount of water now will help incorporate the ingredients well.
  Cook for 5 min on low medium heat. Now add the cauliflower and salt to taste. Stir to combine. Turn the heat off immediately.
  Cover and let it sit for 2min before you serve.
  Garnish with your favourite greens like spring onions or coriander.
  
  An easy, quick recipe for the days when you feel too heavy and want to skip the carbs.
  
  Chef’s Notes: If you don’t have Cajun spice blend, use your fav curry powder or just a few of your own spice blends that you like. Explore! If you can find edamame, replace it with green frozen/fresh peas
