Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped yellow onion
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup chopped celery
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 pound cauliflower florets, processed into rice-sized pieces
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas
  • 1/2 cup chopped green onions

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion, carrots, and celery. Cook until softened, about 5-7 minutes.
  2. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute more until fragrant.
  3. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir and cook for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  4. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side. Scramble the eggs until cooked through.
  5. Stir the scrambled eggs into the cauliflower mixture.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Add the frozen peas and green onions. Stir everything together until well combined and heated through.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure your cauliflower is completely dry before processing it into rice.
  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or broccoli florets.
  • For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes with the garlic.
