Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (or 4 cups store-bought riced cauliflower)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil (or olive oil)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (thawed)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

    • If using a whole cauliflower, pulse florets in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Set aside.

  2. Cook the Aromatics:

    • Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat.
    • Add garlic, onion, and ginger (if using) and sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

  3. Cook the Veggies:

    • Add the peas and carrots, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until softened.

  4. Scramble the Eggs:

    • Push the veggies to the side of the pan. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until cooked through. Mix everything together.

  5. Add Cauliflower Rice:

    • Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until tender but not mushy.

  6. Season and Serve:

    • Add soy sauce, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and cook for another 1-2 minutes.
    • Garnish with chopped green onions and serve hot.

Notes

  • Add cooked chicken, shrimp, tofu, or beef for a protein boost.
  • For extra crunch, toss in water chestnuts or chopped cashews.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
