Total time: 25 min
Ingredients: 2 tablespoon olive oil; 4 ounce salmon (cubed into 2-inch pieces); 50 gram carrot (chopped); 119 gram orange bell pepper (chopped); 20 gram shallot (diced); 4 tablespoon soy sauce (or coconut aminos); 2 tablespoon sesame oil; 2 tablespoon japanese seven-spice powder ((shachimi togarashi)); 588 gram cauliflower (riced); salt and pepper (to taste)

Ah, cauliflower! So versatile in the keto world. Just one simple technique can get it into the consistency of rice. Don’t worry, this spicy cauliflower rice isn’t too spicy! It packs a little heat, but also a punch of sesame and soy.

This recipe is very simple and quick to cook, but there is some prep time involved. Mainly – processing the cauliflower into rice. There are a few ways to do that. One way is to chop up the florets and throw them into a food processor. Or, you can do the same with a blender. If you do use a blender, it’s wise to only do it little-by-little. If you throw too much into the blender then it won’t shred and you will end up with big chunks.

This spicy fried “rice” calls for shichimi togarashi (also known as Japanese 7-spice). If you don’t have or can’t find this ingredient, then you can substitute with red pepper flakes.
