1 large head of cauliflower, riced
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 small onion, finely chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon ginger, grated
3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)
2 green onions, chopped
Salt and pepper, to taste
Optional: cooked chicken, shrimp, or extra vegetables for more protein
Directions
- Pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Be careful not to overprocess.
- Heat half of the sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble until fully cooked. Remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Add the remaining sesame oil to the pan. Sauté the onion, peas and carrots, and minced garlic for about 5 minutes, or until the onions are translucent and the vegetables are tender.
- Stir in the riced cauliflower along with the grated ginger. Continue to cook for about 7-8 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft.
- Add the cooked eggs back into the skillet. Pour the soy sauce over the mixture and stir well. Cook for another 2 minutes to let the flavors meld.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
