Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 head cauliflower, riced
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add onion and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Stir in carrots and peas, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
  5. Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp, about 5-7 minutes.
  6. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until cooked through.
  7. Stir the scrambled eggs into the cauliflower mixture.
  8. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, ginger, and black pepper. Pour over the fried rice and toss to combine.
  9. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until heated through.
  10. Garnish with sliced green onions before serving.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your cauliflower is finely riced. You can do this in a food processor by pulsing cauliflower florets until they resemble rice grains.
  • Adjust soy sauce to your taste.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli florets or bell peppers.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
