Ingredients

2 large eggs
1 Tablespoon sesame oil
½ cup diced yellow onion
3 cloves garlic minced
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger minced
4 green onions chopped, whites and greens separated
¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 small-medium head cauliflower or 4 ½ cups cauliflower rice
2 cups frozen mixed veggies peas, corn and carrots
¼ cup low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
salt and pepper to taste
sesame seeds crushed red pepper, chili crisp or sriracha, for serving

Instructions

Add cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until broken into rice-size pieces.
Whisk eggs together in a bowl and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Once hot, add onions, garlic and white parts of the green onions and cook, stirring occasionally for about 1 minute.
Add riced cauliflower, mixed veggies and soy sauce to the wok and cook, stirring constantly for about 3-4 minutes.
Make a well in the middle of the veggies and pour in the eggs. Stir fry until eggs are cooked through. Taste and add more soy sauce, if desired.
Remove from the heat and mix in the green onions. Serve warm, topped with sesame seeds and crushed red pepper, chili crisp or sriracha if desired.

Notes

You can buy pre-chopped cauliflower rice if you don’t own a food processor. This also helps reduce clean up time.
If you want to add a protein to this, I recommend adding shrimp. Simply cook the shrimp in a separate pan with al little oil, salt and pepper and serve it over the cauliflower fried rice for a full meal.
