Ingredients

• 4 cups Cauliflower rice
• 3 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast or shrimp (optional, for protein)
• 3 tablespoons Coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Avocado oil or sesame oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (fresh, minced)
• 2 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 cup Carrots (optional, finely diced for added texture)
• 0.5 cup Peas (optional, fresh or frozen)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by preparing all the ingredients: mince the garlic and ginger, chop the green onions, and finely dice any optional vegetables (such as carrots). If using cooked chicken or shrimp, chop into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok over medium heat, heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil or sesame oil. Once hot, crack the eggs directly into the skillet. Scramble the eggs gently until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in the minced garlic and ginger, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, spreading it out evenly. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice becomes tender and lightly toasted.

Step 5

Stir in the optional diced carrots and peas, if using. Let them cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until just tender.

Step 6

Add the cooked chicken or shrimp to the skillet and mix well. Allow them to heat through for 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce over the mixture and stir to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 8

Add the cooked scrambled eggs back into the skillet, breaking them up into smaller pieces and incorporating them into the rice mixture.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the top. If desired, garnish with sesame seeds for added flavor and texture.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your keto-friendly fried rice!
