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)
  • Green onions (2, chopped (for garnish))

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic, diced onion, and diced carrots to the skillet. Sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  4. 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.
  5. Stir in the riced cauliflower and frozen peas, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes, until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing everything together. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.
  7. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped green onions before serving.
