Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 small onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chopped carrots
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 1 head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 3 minutes.
  3. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the carrots and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender.
  5. Add the cauliflower rice and frozen peas to the skillet. Stir frequently and cook for 5-7 minutes until the cauliflower is tender-crisp.
  6. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the lightly beaten egg onto the empty side. Scramble the egg until cooked through, then mix it with the vegetables.
  7. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture. Stir everything together well.
  8. Season with salt and pepper as needed. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can add other vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • For more flavor, add a dash of ground ginger or turmeric with the vegetables.
  • If you prefer, skip the egg for a vegan version.
