Bokkeum-bap

Bokkeum-bap is a delightful Korean stir-fried rice dish that’s both nutritious and satisfying, perfect for a quick snack or light meal. This Paleo version replaces traditional rice with cauliflower rice, giving it a healthy twist while retaining authentic flavors.

Ingredients

• Cauliflower - 400 grams
• Carrot - 1 medium (about 70 grams), diced
• Zucchini - 1 small (about 150 grams), diced
• Green onion - 2 stalks, chopped
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Egg - 2 large
• Coconut aminos - 2 tablespoons
• Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Sesame seeds - 1 tablespoon (for garnish)

Steps

1. Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Chop it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. You may also grate it using a box grater.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add diced carrots and zucchini to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they're tender.
4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked and then mix them with the vegetables.
5. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring everything together. Pour in the coconut aminos and sesame oil, mixing well to combine.
6. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir-fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
7. Remove from heat and sprinkle with chopped green onions and sesame seeds before serving.
