4

Beat Eggs

In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

5

Cook Eggs

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the beaten eggs and cook, scrambling until set. Remove the cooked eggs and set aside.

6

Sauté Vegetables

Add the sesame oil to the skillet. Add the diced onion and carrots and cook for 3 minutes until slightly softened. Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.

7

Cook Cauliflower Rice

Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently. The goal is to cook the cauliflower rice through and to reduce any excess moisture. It should become slightly tender and lose its raw taste.

8

Combine Ingredients

Pour the soy sauce over the cauliflower rice and stir to combine. Add the cooked eggs and green peas, and stir everything together for a minute.

9

Serve and Enjoy

Remove from heat and serve immediately. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve hot and enjoy the flavors!

Recipe Tips

  • For best results, use fresh cauliflower. Avoid using pre-riced cauliflower as it often contains excess moisture that can make the fried rice soggy. If using pre-riced cauliflower, pat it dry with paper towels before cooking.
  • Adjust the amount of soy sauce to your preference. For a lower sodium option, use low-sodium soy sauce or tamari.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or zucchini.
  • For a spicier version, add a dash of chili flakes or sriracha.
  • You can also add a protein of your choice, like tofu, chicken or shrimp.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave until heated through.
  • When using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower in short bursts to avoid making it too mushy.
