  • Total Time: 20

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 medium head of cauliflower, riced
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, bell peppers)
  • 2 green onions, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari for gluten-free
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional: 2 eggs, beaten (for added protein)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cauliflower: Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. Alternatively, you can use pre-riced cauliflower.
  2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet or wok, heat the cooking oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger, and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the Vegetables: Toss in the mixed vegetables and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are tender. If using, push the veggies to one side of the pan and scramble the beaten eggs on the other side until cooked through.
  4. Stir in the Cauliflower: Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet, mixing everything thoroughly. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil, and stir-fry for another 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  5. Finish and Serve: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with chopped green onions before serving.

Notes

 You can add cooked chicken or shrimp for extra protein.
