Curried Tofu with Cauliflower Rice

Author: Flavelo
Recipes Vegetarian & Vegan Dishes Main Courses
Cauliflower rice is a superstar of low-carb cooking. It's essentially riced cauliflower that's quickly heat-treated. The trick is not to overcook it: it should remain crunchy and 'biteable', mimicking the texture of real rice. In this dish, the intense Indian seasoning of the tofu makes up for the lack of carbs.

Ingredients

Equipment Needed

  • Food processor or box grater - for making the 'rice'
  • Two skillets (one for tofu, one for cauliflower)

Allergen Information

⚠️ Soy
⚠️ Sesame

Instructions

1 ✓

Dice the tofu and toss with soy sauce, curry powder, and turmeric. Let it marinate for 10 minutes.

Tip: Tofu's porous structure absorbs the marinade efficiently.
2 ✓

Break the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains (or grate it).

Tip: Do not over-process, or it will turn into mush.
3 ✓

In a skillet with a little oil, fry the marinated tofu until golden brown. Remove and set aside.

Tip: The sugar in the soy sauce caramelizes quickly, so watch that it doesn't burn.
4 ✓

In the same skillet, sauté the chopped onion, garlic, and ginger.

Tip: This builds the aromatic base.
5 ✓

Add the cauliflower rice and peas. Stir-fry over high heat for 5-7 minutes.

Tip: High heat evaporates moisture from the cauliflower so it fries instead of boils.
6 ✓

Season with salt and pepper, and squeeze lime juice over the top. Mix in the tofu and serve garnished with cilantro and sesame seeds.

Tip: Add salt only at the very end, as it draws moisture out of the cauliflower, which could make it soggy.

Recipe FAQ

Why did my cauliflower rice get watery?
You steamed it too long or covered the pan. Cauliflower needs to sauté, not steam.
