Ingredients

• 4 cups cauliflower rice
• 1 cup kimchi
• 3 stalks green onions
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 large egg
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon Korean gochugaru (chili flakes)
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the vegetables. Chop the kimchi into small bite-sized pieces and set aside. Slice the green onions, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and the white parts of the green onions, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the chopped kimchi to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until it begins to caramelize.

Step 4

Stir in the cauliflower rice, and cook for another 5 minutes, ensuring the cauliflower is well mixed with the kimchi mixture and is starting to soften.

Step 5

Push the rice mixture to the side of the skillet and crack the eggs on the empty side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked, then mix them into the rice.

Step 6

Add soy sauce, sesame oil, gochugaru, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.

Step 7

Place the fried 'rice' into serving bowls and garnish with green parts of the green onions and sesame seeds optionally for added texture and flavor.

Step 8

Serve hot, and enjoy your low-carb kimchi fried rice!
