Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 medium, diced Carrots
• 1 cup Frozen peas
• 3 minced Garlic cloves
• 1 inch, grated Ginger
• 1 small, diced Onion
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free option)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Neutral cooking oil (e.g., avocado oil, vegetable oil)
• 2 stalks, sliced Green onions
• 1 pinch Salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the cauliflower by removing the outer leaves and cutting it into florets. Use a food processor to pulse the florets into rice-sized granules. If a food processor is unavailable, use a box grater with large holes.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil. Once hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until just cooked. Remove scrambled eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of neutral cooking oil. Sauté the diced onion, carrots, garlic, and ginger until fragrant and softened, about 3-4 minutes.

Step 4

Add the frozen peas and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Step 5

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the grated cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower begins to turn tender but not mushy.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and stir in the soy sauce (or coconut aminos) and sesame oil. Mix well to ensure the cauliflower rice is evenly coated with the flavors.

Step 7

Return the scrambled eggs to the skillet and crumble them into smaller pieces as you stir them into the rice. Cook for an additional minute.

Step 8

Taste the dish and add a pinch of salt and black pepper if needed. Sprinkle the sliced green onions over the top as a garnish.

Step 9

Serve hot as a low-carb side dish or a light main course.
