Ingredients
1 large head cauliflower2-3 tablespoons butter1 tablespoon sesame oil1 teaspoon minced garlic (I used the jarred kind)1 tablespoon rice vinegar1 tablespoon (less sodium) soy sauce1 teaspoon powdered ginger*1 teaspoon salt, or to taste1-3 tablespoons Sweet Chili Sauce (see photo)1-2 tablespoons lime juice (half a lime)1/4 cup chopped cilantro, or to taste
1. Chop the cauliflower into roughly 1inch pieces (see photos). Don't worry about keeping the
florets pretty, you are going to pulverize them anyway.
2. Add about 1/3 (or even 1/4) of your cauliflower to your food processor. Don't try to do too much
at once; you will get half mush and half chunks. PULSE the cauliflower in 1second bursts, until
it looks about the size of grains of rice. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
3. In a widebottom skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the sesame oil. Saute the garlic for
about 1 minute, until fragrant.
4. Add all of the cauliflower rice. It may seem like a lot, but it will cook down.
5. Stir in rice vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, salt, and sweet chili sauce. Continue to cook the
cauliflower until it is tender, about 8-12 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice and cilantro.
7. Garnish with additional lime and cilantro, if you want.
