Ingredients

• 1 head cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 0.5 cup, diced onion
• 0.5 cup, diced carrots
• 0.5 cup peas
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon, minced ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 large eggs
• 0.25 cup, sliced green onions
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash and dry the cauliflower thoroughly, then chop into small florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Do not over-process or it will become mush.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and carrots, and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 5 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.

Step 3

Add the peas, minced garlic, and minced ginger to the skillet. Stir fry for another 2-3 minutes until fragrant.

Step 4

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once hot, pour the beaten eggs into the remaining space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.

Step 5

Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir everything together. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

Step 6

Drizzle the mixture with soy sauce and sesame oil, then season with salt and black pepper to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Remove from heat, sprinkle with sliced green onions, and serve hot.
