Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)

2 tablespoons olive oil or sesame oil

2 eggs, beaten

1 cup frozen peas and carrots mixture

3 green onions, chopped

3 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)

1 teaspoon grated ginger (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Using a food processor, pulse the florets until they resemble rice grains. Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower using a box grater.

    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add the olive oil or sesame oil. Once hot, pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set them aside.

      In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and ginger (if using). Sauté for about 30 seconds or until fragrant.

        Add the riced cauliflower to the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender and slightly golden.

          Add the peas and carrots, soy sauce or tamari, and cooked eggs back into the skillet. Stir well to combine everything thoroughly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat the peas and carrots.

            Finally, add the chopped green onions, season with salt and pepper, and mix well.

              Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds if desired. Enjoy your delicious low-carb cauliflower fried rice!
