Ingredients

• 1 medium head cauliflower

• 2 cloves garlic
• 3 stalks green onions
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 medium red bell pepper
• 1 small carrot
• 1 teaspoon ginger
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 2 pieces lime wedges

Directions

Step 1

Break the cauliflower into florets and place in a food processor. Pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Set aside.

Step 2

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the green onions. Dice the red bell pepper and carrot into small cubes.

Step 3

In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the diced carrot and red bell pepper, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble them until just cooked, then mix with the vegetables.

Step 6

Stir in the riced cauliflower and cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Add the crab meat, soy sauce, grated ginger, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the crab to heat through and flavors to meld.

Step 9

Drizzle the sesame oil over the fried rice and mix in the chopped green onions.

Step 10

Sprinkle the sesame seeds on top and serve hot with lime wedges on the side for an extra burst of freshness.
