Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon Ginger, grated
• 2 medium Carrots, diced
• 1 cup Green peas, frozen
• 2 tablespoons Low sodium soy sauce
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 stalks Green onions, chopped
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cauliflower: remove the leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 2

In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 3

Add the diced carrots to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until they start to soften.

Step 4

Stir in the frozen peas and continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes.

Step 5

Push the vegetables to one side of the pan and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Crack the eggs into the pan, scrambling them as they cook. Combine them with the vegetables once cooked through.

Step 6

Add the riced cauliflower to the pan. Pour the low sodium soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, and stir well to combine all the ingredients.

Step 7

Allow the cauliflower to cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until it is tender but not mushy.

Step 8

Stir in the chopped green onions and season with black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Serve the cauliflower fried rice hot, either as a side dish or a main course.
