At the end of June, a bunch of us decided that we really needed to do a whole30.  Paleo food for a month? Why not!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Paleo compliant bacon (or regular bacon if you're not doing whole30)
  • Ghee, avocado oil, or coconut oil (or other fat if not whole30)
  • 4 eggs
  • fish sauce
  • Salt
  • Pepper
  • 1 cups's worth of chopped green onions -- slice 'em pretty like
  • 1 half an onion, sliced
  • 4 cloves of ginger, minced, shredded, or grated
  • 2 small heads (or one big one) of cauliflower (or pre bought pre shredded cauliflower if you live in a place that has that)
  • 1 inch knob o ginger, minced
  • 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 5-6 tbsp coconut aminos (or soy sauce if you're not whole30ing)
  • 1 tsp sugar (substitute some apple juice or just skip for whole30)
  • frozen peas
  • shredded carrots
  • sesame oil
  • 1/4 c toasted almond slices (chopped peanuts work too if not whole30)
  • Furikake 
  • Rice Vinegar

Grate the cauliflower using a food processor and grating blade, box grater, or use a knife if you really hate yourself and want to dice two heads of cauliflower down to rice size.  If using pre bought "rice" skip.

Pop your frying oil in the pan, and add some diced bacon.  Get that nice and crispy, then remove the fried bacon to a paper towel lined plate.  Using the pan with the bacon fat in it, scramble up those eggs and fry up -- leave in large chunks so you can chop it up later.  Think "country style omelette" when you're making your scrambled eggs.  When done pop on top of your bacon on the plate.

Add a little more oil to the pan and get the onions, garlic, and ginger frying.  Once softened, add the grated cauliflower and shredded carrots and get those starting to infuse with flavor.

Once the cauliflower starts to soften, add the coconut aminos or soy sauce, pepper, red pepper flakes, sugar, couple dashes of fish sauce, furikake, and some salt and toss.  Taste, and add more of any of the above to your liking.

Once the cauliflower has had a chance to all soften to be like finished rice and you've got the flavor down, chop up that reserved omelette and add that, the bacon, frozen peas, nuts, maybe some extra dark green scallions, and continue to stirfry until everything is piping hot.
