Add the diced bell pepper to the skillet and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes.

Step 6

Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.

Step 7

Crack the eggs into the skillet, and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix the vegetables with the eggs.

Step 8

Add the cauliflower rice and frozen mixed vegetables to the skillet. Stir everything to combine.

Step 9

Pour the soy sauce over the mixture and stir well, ensuring the cauliflower rice is fully coated.
