Method

Break cauliflower into florets then either place into a food process and pulse for a few seconds until cauliflower resembles rice or grate the cauliflower if you don’t have a food processer.
In a small bowl beat the egg and milk using a small whisk. Place into a wok or large non-stick frypan that has been coated with cooking spray and fry stirring occasionally until cooked. Removed from frypan to be added back later.
Re-coat the pan with cooking spray then add the garlic, corn, peas and carrots. Stirring occasionally until carrots are cooked.
Add diced ham and shallots and cook for 2 minutes.
Pour the cauliflower into pan and fold ingredients together. Fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the soy sauce and pepper and combine well. Fold in the egg mix then cook a further 3-5 minutes stirring occasionally until cauliflower is cooked to your liking.

Variation: For a vegetarian Fried Rice omit ham.

Suitable to be frozen.
