Enhanced Cauliflower Fried Rice

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)
• Salt and pepper (to taste)
• Green onions (1/4 cup, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

1. Begin by grating the cauliflower into rice-like pieces using a food processor or a box grater. Set aside.
2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat until shimmering.
3. Add the diced onion and minced garlic to the skillet, sautéing until fragrant and the onion is translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in the diced carrots, peas, and bell peppers, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
5. 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.
6. Once the eggs are cooked, mix them with the sautéed vegetables, combining everything evenly in the skillet.
7. Add the grated cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to mix it in with the vegetables and eggs.
8. Drizzle the soy sauce over the entire mixture, stirring well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
9. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender but still has a slight bite.
10. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting the flavors as desired.
11. Before serving, garnish with chopped green onions for a fresh pop of flavor.
