Ingredients

  • Cauliflower - 300 grams
  • Carrot - 50 grams, diced
  • Green peas - 50 grams
  • Spring onions - 2, chopped
  • Egg - 2, beaten
  • Soy sauce - 2 tablespoons
  • Sesame oil - 1 tablespoon
  • Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
  • Ginger - 1 teaspoon, minced
  • Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
  • Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Cooking oil - 1 tablespoon

Steps

  1. Rinse the cauliflower and cut it into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice, then set aside.

  3. Add the diced carrot and peas to the skillet, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  4. Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and scramble until fully cooked, then mix with the vegetables.
  5. Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet, stirring to combine with the vegetables and eggs. Cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  6. Pour in the soy sauce and sesame oil, mixing well. Season with salt and black pepper to taste, cooking for an additional 2 minutes.
  7. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped spring onions, and serve warm.
