A delicious and healthy makeover of Fried Rice with the addition of snap peas and cauliflower rice.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 3 teaspoons Olive Oil
  • 1 1/2 cups of Diced Carrot, (about 3 large)
  • 3/4 cup Diced Celery, (about 2 large stalks)
  • 4 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups Cauliflower Rice, frozen or fresh
  • 1 cup White Rice, cooked
  • 1 cup of Sugar Snap Peas, cut in 1/2 or 1/3rds or peas of your choice
  • 2 Tablespoons Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Oyster Sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne
  • 1 Slice of Bacon, cooked and minced (optional)

Instructions

  1. Finely dice carrot and celery, and set aside.  Thinly slice the scallions and set aside.  Clean strings from sugar snap peas and cut into bite size pieces, either in half or thirds, depending on their size.
  2. In a small dish or cup, combine together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Worcestershire sauce and cayenne* and set aside.  *Note:  The cayenne adds a pinch of heat.  If you are serving to young children, you may want to omit the cayenne pepper.   
  3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.  Place oil in pan, and just as it begins to shimmer, add the carrots and celery and stir occasionally.  Cook until carrots just begin to get tender, about 7-8 minutes. 
  4. Add the scallions and snap peas and continue to cook until the scallions begin to soften, about 3-4 minutes. 
  5. Stir in the cauliflower rice and white rice.   Mix to combine with all of the vegetables. 
  6. Add the sauce mixture and continue to stir, mixing well.
  7. Continue to cook until mixture is throughly heated and cauliflower is cooked but still crunchy, about another 5 minutes. 
  8. Remove from heat, sprinkle with bacon and serve.    

Notes

*The white rice in this recipe is best if made a day or two ahead.  Actually, leftover rice works really well. 

For the Bacon:  If I am using, I like to incorporate a leftover piece from breakfast.  Cut crosswise into slices and then mince into small pieces.
