I might actually prefer this raw vegan fried rice to the traditional version. All the yummy Asian flavors in a light dish. Cauliflower “rice” is the key to this recipe. If you do not like cauliflower, you have to try this recipe. Processing the cauliflower gives it a rice-like texture. A tasty and easy way to enjoy Asian food on a raw diet.
This recipe benefits from sitting for a few hours, it makes the difference between a good and great dish. As with most raw food recipes, time allows the flavors to meld and mellow.
Most of us struggle to find recipes that translate easily to a meal for our families (if they are not raw vegans too). This is the perfect go to option for a family-friendly meal. For those who are not raw or vegan, this recipe can be cooked and eggs and other animal proteins can be added. Just prepare the cauliflower rice and other veggies a few hours in advance. For the raw meal combine the ingredients and refrigerate. Half an hour before you want to eat, start to heat oil in the wok and cook.
