Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Olive oil (2 tablespoons)
- Garlic (2 cloves, minced)
- Onion (1 small, diced)
- Carrots (1/2 cup, diced)
- Green peas (1/2 cup, frozen)
- Cauliflower (1 medium head, riced)
- Eggs (2, beaten)
- Soy sauce (2 tablespoons)
- Sesame oil (1 tablespoon)
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)

Instructions
- Start by preparing your cauliflower rice. You can either purchase pre-riced cauliflower or make your own by grating the cauliflower florets or pulsing them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
- Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and diced carrots to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
- Push the sautéed vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the other side. Scramble the eggs until fully cooked through.
- Stir in the riced cauliflower and frozen peas, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
- Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing everything together. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
- Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
