Keto Nattō Rice

Keto Nattō Rice is a delightful twist on traditional Japanese rice dishes, featuring fermented soybeans served over a bed of cauliflower rice. This low-carb, protein-packed meal is not only flavorful but also offers numerous health benefits.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 300 grams
• Nattō (fermented soybeans) - 100 grams
• Soy sauce (low sodium) - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Green onions - 2, finely chopped
• Nori sheets - 2, cut into strips
• Mirin (sugar-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Ginger (fresh) - 1 teaspoon, grated
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Toasted sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower, then chop it into florets.
2. Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.
3. In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
4. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the garlic and ginger. Cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
5. In a small bowl, mix the nattō with soy sauce and mirin until well combined.
6. Once the cauliflower rice is cooked, divide it between two serving bowls.
7. Top each bowl with the nattō mixture, and sprinkle with chopped green onions and toasted sesame seeds.
8. Finally, garnish with nori strips and serve immediately.
