Ingredients

Scale
  • 5 cups (about 600g) cauliflower rice, grated or store-bought
  • 1 cup diced carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas, thawed and drained
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped onions
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil (canola or vegetable oil)
  • Optional: chopped bell peppers, mushrooms, or cooked chicken

Instructions

  1. Prep your cauliflower rice by grating a whole cauliflower or using store-bought rice. Measure about 5 cups (600g).
  2. Dice carrots and onions finely. Thaw and drain frozen peas.
  3. Beat 2 large eggs lightly in a bowl and set aside.
  4. Heat a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon neutral cooking oil.
  5. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble gently until just cooked but still soft. Transfer eggs to a plate and set aside.
  6. Add more oil if needed, then sauté minced garlic and diced onions for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Add carrots and peas; cook for 3-4 minutes until tender but crisp.
  8. Add cauliflower rice to the pan and stir well to combine with veggies. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring often, until slightly softened and lightly toasted.
  9. Drizzle in 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil. Stir thoroughly to coat all ingredients.
  10. Return scrambled eggs to the pan and gently fold into the mixture. Cook for another minute to warm through.
  11. Stir in sliced green onions, reserving some for garnish if desired.
  12. Serve immediately or portion into meal prep containers. Let cool before sealing and refrigerating.

Notes

Use fresh cauliflower for best texture; if using frozen, thaw and squeeze out excess moisture. Cook in batches to avoid steaming and maintain a toasted texture. Adjust soy sauce seasoning to taste. Reheat with a damp paper towel to retain moisture.
