Instructions
Making Cauli rice
- I've taken medium-sized cauliflower. Separate the florets & soak in warm water for 15 minutes, that way any tiny bugs will be released into the water.
- Grate the florets in a food processor, keep aside.
- Place a wok over medium heat.
- Add sesame oil, ginger-garlic; saute till light golden.
- Add green onions, saute for 2 minutes.
- Add onions, saute till translucent.
- Add shredded carrots, stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Add green pepper, stir fry.
- Add the grated cauliflower, stir fry.
- Cook covered for 5 minutes.
- If it's turning dry, add water & stir fry till cauliflower turns soft.
- Increase the heat to high, stir fry till cauliflower turns light golden brown.
- Add the sauces, stir fry for 2 minutes.
- Add sesame seeds, cilantro & lemon juice, stir fry for a minute.
- Finally, add sesame oil. Give everything a fabulous mix.
- Remove the wok from the heat, keep it covered.
Making Air fried salmon
- I've taken 2 salmon steaks, any kind of fish can be used.
- Add all the spices mentioned 'for marinating salmon' along with lemon juice, spread over the salmon.
- Let marinate for 15 to 30 minutes.
- I've used Instant Pot duo crisp & air fryer. Any air fryer can be used.
- Place the air fryer basket into the stainless steel pot.
- Place the broil tray into the air fryer basket.
- Grease the broil tray with non-stick cooking spray.
- Place the marinated salmon on the broil tray.
- Close the pot with the air fryer lid.
- Select air fry setting, set the time to 15 minutes at 400 F temperature.
- After 15 minutes of air frying, open the lid.
- Gently, take the salmon out of the broil tray.
- On a plate, serve Asian style cauli rice & top with air fried salmon. Enjoy.
