Preparation
Step 1
Pre-heat a wok, or a large non-stick pan.
Set aside a small amount of the sliced green onions, to be used as a garnish, later.
Add sesame oil to the pan. Immediately add the ginger, garlic and green onions. Stir quickly, not allowing these ingredients to burn (it's a hot pan and these 3 ingredients are chopped very small. They will burn quickly). Sauté for about 1 minute, or until the garlic shows signs of turning brown (caramelizing).
Add the ham, peas and carrots. Sauté this mixture, for a further 2 minutes.
Pour the beaten eggs evenly around the pan.
With a wooden spoon, or a rubber spatula, cut and turn the eggs and veggies, for about 1 minute. Eggs should be lightly cooked, but not dry.
Add the "rice" and soy sauce to the mixture. Continue cooking and stirring, until mixed evenly and heated through. Season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with toasted sesame seeds and fresh sliced green onions. Serve.
Cauli-Rice Recipe (6 servings):
1 head (840g) large cauliflower
salt and pepper, to taste
Method:
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower.
With a cheese grater, grate the cauliflower over the largest grate section. This should give you grated cauliflower. (an alternative is to put it into a food processor and "pulse" the cauliflower, until it's small grains ... you don't want to puree it, which is why I like the cheese grater method)
Place the grated cauliflower into microwaveable container season with salt and pepper.
Cover with a lid, or plastic wrap. If you use a lid, do not clamp it down. Simply place it on top, to allow some breathing. If plastic wrap is used, poke a few holes in the top. Steam needs to escape.
Microwave on high for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and let sit for 1 more minute. (or use a Teflon pan, with a small amount of coconut oil in the pan. Over high heat, sauté the cauli-rice for about 4 minutes, constantly tossing it around, to cook it evenly. The end result is the same!)
