Ingredients

• 4 cups Cauliflower rice
• 2 large Eggs
• 1 cup Cooked chicken breast or shrimp (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce (or coconut aminos for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Ginger (grated)
• 2 pieces Green onions (sliced)
• 1 cup Frozen peas and carrots mix
• 1 medium Red bell pepper (diced)
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the olive oil and sesame oil.

Step 2

Dice the garlic cloves and grate the ginger. Add them to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 3

Push the garlic and ginger to one side of the skillet. Crack the eggs into the empty side and scramble them until cooked. Mix the scrambled eggs with the garlic and ginger, then remove the mixture from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

If you're using chicken or shrimp, add them to the skillet and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove and set aside with the egg mixture.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the diced red bell pepper, frozen peas, and carrots. Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until softened.

Step 6

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until it is tender but not mushy.

Step 7

Return the scrambled eggs and cooked chicken or shrimp (if using) to the skillet. Stir to combine.

Step 8

Pour the soy sauce or coconut aminos over the mixture and stir well to coat everything evenly.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste, then sprinkle the sliced green onions on top.

Step 10

Serve immediately and enjoy your low-carb special fried rice!
