    I’ve always struggled with lower belly bloat, ya know, that problem area for most women.Cauliflower Fried Rice - gluten free, dairy free, low carb

    No matter how much I worked out and ate right, it just never seemed to go away. They say abs are made in the kitchen and I totally believe that.Cauliflower Fried Rice - gluten free, dairy free, low carb

    I started to experiment with certain foods that may have been causing my belly bloat, foods such as, broccoli, brussels sprouts, oatmeal, banana, grainy carbs, however I didn’t have much luck.Cauliflower Fried Rice - gluten free, dairy free, low carb

    And then one day I decided to try the gluten-free fad, and BOOM, my belly bloat went down to half its size. Finally! After all these years, I figured it out! Imagine my relief! It's not like I'm allergic to gluten or anything, but for some reason I bloat after eating gluten.Cauliflower Fried Rice - gluten free, dairy free, low carb

    Nowadays I experiment with gluten-free dishes as I aim to eat more quinoa, farro, barley, and brown rice, instead of regular wheat breads and pastas.

    A low-carb fried rice option instead of using rice. Cauliflower is an excellent source of Vitamin C, Folate, a very good source of Fiber and Omega-3 Fats, and a good source of Protein. Eggs are a very good source of Vitamin B2, and are a good source Protein and Vitamin D, although the yolks do contain a lot of cholesterol, the yolk also contains tons of nutrients that are good for you.

    Ingredients
      

    • Sunflower Oil - 1 tbsp
    • Garlic - 3 cloves, chopped
    • Ginger - 2 inch piece, chopped
    • Onion - 1 small, chopped
    • Organic Eggs - 2
    • Trader Joe's Cauliflower Rice - 1-16. ounce bag
    • Organic Frozen Carrots & Peas - 1 cup
    • Organic Frozen Corn - ½ cup
    • Low-Sodium Soy Sauce - 2 tbsp
    • Rice Wine Vinegar - 1 tbsp
    • Siracha - 1 tbsp
    • Scallions - ½ cup, chopped
    • Toasted Sesame Oil - 1 tsp
    • Garlic Powder - 1 tsp
    • Black Pepper - ¼ tsp
    • Salt - just a pinch, don't overdo it since soy sauce has salt

    Instructions
     

    • Chop the garlic, ginger and onion.
    • Heat up a wok on medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil. Add ginger and garlic. Saute for 20 seconds.
    • Add onion. Saute for a couple minutes.
    • Crack 2 eggs over the onion.
    • Keep stirring the eggs for a minute or so. They may stick to your wok, that's okay.
    • Add the cauliflower fried rice (I used Trader Joe's).
    • Stir and let the cauliflower crisp up - about 5 minutes.
    • Set aside your frozen ingredients - peas, carrots and corn.
    • Once the cauliflower is done, add the frozen veggies. Also add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and siracha. Stir. Let the cauliflower cook for about 5 minutes until hot.
    • In the meantime, chop the scallions.
    • Once the fried rice is done, add the scallions. Stir.
    • Add a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil.
    • Top with garlic powder, black pepper and a touch of salt (if need be).
    • On the side I sauteed some bok choy in extra virgin olive oil and garlic. (optional)
    • Serve immediately.

        Oh so you roast the cauliflower after you pulse it? Or you just roast regular florets?
