Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Cauliflower
- 1 medium head, grated into rice-like texture
- Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons
- Eggs
- 2, beaten
- Garlic
- 2 cloves, minced
- Onion
- 1 medium, diced
- Bell peppers
- 1 cup, diced (any color)
- Carrots
- 1/2 cup, diced
- Peas
- 1/2 cup, frozen or fresh
- Soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons

Instructions
- Begin by grating the cauliflower into rice-like pieces using a food processor or a box grater. Set aside.
- In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the diced carrots, peas, and bell peppers, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Allow them to sit for a moment before scrambling them until fully cooked.
- Once the eggs are cooked, mix them with the sautéed vegetables, combining everything evenly in the skillet.
- Add the grated cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to mix it in with the vegetables and eggs.
- Drizzle the soy sauce over the entire mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but still has a slight bite.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
- Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor.
