Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower rice
- 8 oz Sausage (uncooked, any type)
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 4 Green onions (sliced)
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free option)
- 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tsp Sesame oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
1. Start by preparing the cauliflower rice if using fresh cauliflower. Remove the leaves and core from a medium head, chop it into florets, and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. This should yield about 4 cups.
Step 2
2. Slice the sausage into small bite-sized pieces.
Step 3
3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the sausage pieces and cook until browned and fully cooked, about 6-8 minutes. Remove sausages from the pan and set aside.
Step 4
4. In the same pan, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 5
5. Add the cauliflower rice to the pan and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender.
Step 6
6. Add the frozen peas and carrots to the cauliflower and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes until they are warmed through.
Step 7
7. Push the cauliflower mixture to the side of the pan and crack the eggs into the empty space. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the cauliflower rice.
Step 8
8. Return the cooked sausage to the pan. Add the soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together and cook for another 2 minutes.
Step 9
9. Turn off the heat and stir in the sliced green onions.
Step 10
10. Serve hot and enjoy your low carb fried rice with sausage!
