'Fried Rice' - 4g

Which is neither fried, or made from rice. 
In fact, it is made from a vegetable and happens to be raw!

But it is still equally as delicious - with a similar (though not equal) texture and flavor.

Ingredients:
1/2 large head of cauliflower (preferably more of the florets than the stems)
1/4 C spinach leaves (or parsley)
1/5 yellow onion
1 tsp garlic (minced)
1 tsp freshly grated ginger (more or less)
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
2 Tbsp soy sauce

*For additional flavor/texture (and added carbs) feel free to add some walnuts or cashews - processed

Trim the florets off the head of cauliflower and place in a food processor - about 3 cups worth. Process until all of the florets are minced, and scrape into a bowl to set aside. You can also add the spinach here (or parsley, whichever you have on hand).

Next, in the same food processor, blend the onion, garlic and ginger.  Scrape into the bowl with the cauliflower.

Last, mix in the sesame seeds, oil and soy sauce.

Makes 4 servings, each about 1/3 cup.

The inspiration for this recipe came from http://www.dietdessertndogs.com/2008/12/05/raw-imitation-fried-rice/ - which has a few interesting ingredients/alternatives to my version - check it out and play around for yourself!
