Paleo Asian Fried Rice (Non-Cauli)

August 6, 2014 by predominantlypaleo 10 Comments

 

So the other night when zucchini rice and I fell in love, I started thinking about all the possibilities and got giddy. Nobody was gonna SQUASH my plans. Get it?! SQUASH! Alright, anyway, I was daydreaming away and before I knew it a new day arrived and I had a plan! Paleo Asian Fried Rice (Non-Cauli) was happening!

I wanted to make it the traditional way, which I am sure is really not at all traditional! But the kind I had growing up in Chinese American restaurants with the peas and the onion, and the egg and the salty soy sauce. Only I was obvi gonna have to make it the healthier way!

To be honest, I hate the way I feel after eating real rice – bloaty and overstuffed, not to mention I get other symptoms from cross-reactivity. After eating this I couldn’t believe how light and clean I felt! It really was a great feeling to feel as if I had eaten fried rice and yet didn’t have the consequences! So without further ado….

Ingredients:

  • 3 large yellow squash, spiralized
  • 1 cup organic green peas
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 5 tablespoons coconut aminos (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon sea salt (or more to taste)
  • 1/8 teaspoon onion powder
  1. Start by mincing your spiralized squash on a cutting board; you can make the pieces as large or small as you want
  2. Then in a wok or large skillet, saute squash “rice” in 1 teaspoon avocado oil over high heat – you’ll want to sweat the squash until a lot of the water evaporates (at least 10 minutes)
  3. Once the water has mostly evaporated add in the diced onion and continue to saute over high heat until onion softens – letting excess moisture cook off here as well, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking
  4. Reduce to medium heat
  5. In another skillet, heat the other teaspoon of avocado oil and pour in whisked eggs
  6. Scramble until they are cooked through, then spoon them into the “rice” mixture
  7. Now add in the cup of peas and stir to combine
  8. Next add sesame oil, garlic, sea salt, coconut aminos, and onion powder
  9. Stir and saute for another 5 minutes to allow flavors to really integrate
  10. Optional: mix in cooked chicken, shrimp, pork or beef to complete the meal
  11. Optional: garnish with sesame seeds or fresh chives

    I’ve made similar using my Mouli Julienne grater(looooove that thing)! I gather all the shredded zucchini in a tea towel and let it drain for about 20 minutes or so. If I’m in a hurry I will squeeze the water out before cooking. We are big squash(and cauliflower) fans here but have never tried cauliflower “rice” because it just doesn’t sound right to me.

    Giving it a try with a box grater. Fingers crossed. I tried to love cauli-rice. I really did. But I couldn’t even like it, much less love it. Looking forward to giving it a go with knock off General Tso’s chicken. 🙂

About

Jennifer is a wife and mother of 3 in pursuit of better health for her family.
After being gluten free for 4 years, and having a multitude of chronic health issues, she realized there was still too much processed “food” in her pantry and change was needed. Jennifer began feeding her family more meals from WHOLE foods and less from boxes. Her recipes are predominantly paleo, meaning they are free of grain, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar, but make allowances for a few treats and sweets. She believes food can be medicine when used appropriately and that a few changes now can equate to huge benefits later. Healthy food does not need to be flavorless and void of personality, which she aims to accomplish through her many recipes.
