Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium head about 24 oz cauliflower, rinsed
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 large egg
  • pinch of salt
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 small onion diced fine
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 5 scallions diced, whites and greens separated
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce or more to taste (Tamari for Gluten Free, Coconut Aminos for Paleo/Whole30)

Method
 

  1. Remove the core and dry the cauliflower completely.
  2. Coarsely chop the cauliflower into florets. Place half of the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice or couscous; do not over-process to avoid mushiness. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.
  3. Combine the egg and egg whites in a small bowl. Beat with a fork and season with salt.
  4. Heat a large sauté pan or wok over medium heat. Spray with oil.
  5. Add the eggs and cook, turning a few times until set. Set aside.
  6. Add the sesame oil. Sauté the onions, scallion whites, peas, carrots, and garlic for 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft. Raise the heat to medium-high.
  7. Add the cauliflower "rice" and soy sauce to the sauté pan. Mix, cover, and cook for approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.
  8. Add the cooked egg. Remove from heat and mix in the scallion greens.

Notes

Ingredient Variation: Sometimes I'll swap out the peas and carrots for finely diced bell peppers or even some chopped broccoli florets for a different veggie twist.
