Ingredients

12 oz bag frozen cauliflower or ½ head fresh cauliflower riced
3 tbsp olive oil
½ yellow onion diced
2 carrots peeled and diced
1 cup frozen peas
3 garlic cloves minced
2 tsp fresh ginger minced
2 eggs
2 tsp sriracha or sambal oelek
2 tbsp soy sauce
1-2 cups greens like kale or spinach, optional

To Top

Sesame seeds
Green onions

Instructions

To make cauliflower 'rice' (if using fresh cauliflower) cut into large chunks and blend in a food processor on low until ‘rice’ shape forms. Alternatively, you can chop the cauliflower until fine.
In a large skillet heat olive oil on medium-high heat. Add in yellow onion, carrots and peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the onions are translucent.
Add in cauliflower rice, garlic, and ginger and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.
Create a well in the center of the rice and add in two eggs. Slightly scramble them in the center of the pan. Toss together the rice with the eggs and add in sriracha and soy sauce.
For extra nutrition (totally optional!) I like to add 1-2 cups of fresh greens like spinach or kale at the end. Toss them together for 1-2 minutes or until wilted.
Top with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
