Turkey Day Detox

Stir-Fried Cauliflower



It's that time of year, the turkey's been gobbled, guests stuffed to capacity  have enjoyed the cornucopia of holiday goodies pre and post turkey-time naps.  Leftovers everywhere have gotten the "Ross Geller" special; heading full speed into my Christmas-crazy, tinsel time merry-mania... my full body transition into Buddy the Elf is almost complete, and now is exactly when I feel the need to lighten up my meals.
This usually means that my fridge is greener than my Christmas tree and my diet is predominantly vegetables.  So, when I had a craving for Chinese food instead of ordering fried rice I decided to make some cauliflower stir-fry with whatever I had on hand. 

Ingredients: 
1 tbsp Grapeseed Oil
1 Head small of Cauliflower, finely chopped (about 4 cups)
1 Maitake mushroom
1 medium sweet white onion chopped
1 cup of chopped celery and carrot
1 cup napa cabbage
2 eggs scrambled
2 tbsp soy sauce 
1 tsp fish sauce 
Salt & Pepper to taste 


[ Optional* a drizzle of chili oil or Sriracha right before you dig in]


Heat 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. 
Once the oil is hot add your finely chopped cauliflower to the pan and cook for a few minutes stirring until it develops a bit of color. 
Remove the cauliflower and reserve for later.



Lower the heat to medium-low, add chopped celery, carrots, and chopped white onions until the onions begin to look translucent. 


Chop your Napa cabbage and Maitake mushroom add to your pan. 



After about 2-3 minutes push your vegetables to the side and add your scrambled egg to the pan. Once the eggs are cooked add your cauliflower back into the pan with 2 tablespoons of soy sauce and 1 tsp of fish sauce. 



Add salt and pepper to taste.
