"This salad is inspired by a Filipino dish called “Silog” It’s a combination of two Tagalog words. “Si comes from the word sinangag (which is garlic fried rice) and “log” comes from the word itlog (egg!). The rice and egg is usually served with a protein and some fresh tomatoes on the side.
In my version I replaced the protein with some meaty eggplant and made some cauliflower fried rice instead, as some of you are probably still in the I’m avoiding gluten and grains stage of the year. All the veggies are served on top of a mix of Asian Greens and dressed with a sesame tamarin sauce.
Enjoy!"

Step 1
Pre-heat oven to 350. Place the sliced eggplants and green beans on a baking tray and season with 2 tablespoons of the garlic oil and salt and pepper. Place the riced cauliflower on a separate baking tray and season with the remaining garlic oil and salt and pepper.
