Cookware
chef's knife · colander · cutting board · garlic press (optional) · grater or food processor · julienne peeler (optional) · measuring spoons · mixing bowls · stainless steel skillet · stirring spoon · vegetable peeler
Directions
- 1. Wash and dry all fresh produce.
- 2. Break the cauliflower into quarters, trim leaves and core, then grate or process into small florets resembling rice and place in a large bowl.
- 3. Heat a skillet over medium-low and drizzle in a teaspoon or so of virgin coconut oil, tilting to coat the bottom.
- 4. Add the grated cauliflower, season with salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to the bowl with the initial cauliflower and keep warm.
- 5. While the cauliflower cooks, trim kale stems, coarsely chop the leaves, and place them in a medium bowl; cut the stems into ½-inch pieces and set aside in another bowl.
- 6. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger, adding them to the kale stems and leaves mixture.
- 7. Trim and finely slice the green onions, using the white parts and about half of the greens in the vegetable bowl; reserve the rest for garnish.
- 8. Increase the skillet heat to medium and add more coconut oil if needed, then crumble in the ground beef and cook until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes.
- 9. Add kale stems, carrot shreds, garlic, and ginger; sauté, stirring regularly, until the vegetables soften, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 10. Stir in the kale leaves, splash in soy sauce and rice vinegar, and cook until the greens wilt and everything is heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
- 11. Spoon the cauliflower rice into two bowls, top with the beef and vegetable mixture, and finish with the remaining green onions as a garnish.
- 12. Serve and enjoy, adjusting salt and soy sauce to taste if needed.
Two tips
- Prep ahead by chopping garlic, ginger, kale, carrots, and green onions in separate containers for a quicker finish.
- Leftovers refrigerate well; reheat gently and add a splash more soy sauce or rice vinegar to brighten the flavors.
