Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 4 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower chopped into florets (or 4 cups riced cauliflower)
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup peas fresh or frozen
  • 1/2 cup carrots cubed
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 Tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 Tbsp honey
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ginger grated (or 1/8 tsp ground ginger)
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 Tbsp green onions chopped

Instructions

  • Remove the core from the cauliflower and chop into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice, or use 4 cups of store-bought riced cauliflower; set aside.
  • Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the sesame oil.
  • Add the chopped onion, peas, and cubed carrots to the skillet and sauté until the vegetables are tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  • While the vegetables cook, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and red pepper flakes in a small bowl; set the sauce aside.
  • Push the cooked vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty side and scramble until just set, then mix the scrambled eggs into the vegetables.
  • Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, pour the prepared sauce over everything, and stir well to combine.
  • Cook the mixture, stirring occasionally, for 3 to 4 minutes more until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  • Remove from heat, stir in the chopped green onions, and serve immediately.

Equipment

  • Large Skillet or Wok

Notes

  • Use pre-riced cauliflower to save time.
  • Adjust red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
  • Low-sodium soy sauce helps control sodium.
