Description
A healthy and low-carb alternative to traditional fried rice that’s easy to customize and packed with flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (10-15oz) bag frozen cauliflower rice
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 yellow or white onion, diced
- 2 medium carrots, diced
- 1 tbsp minced garlic
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- Toasted sesame seeds for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Open the bag of frozen cauliflower rice and heat according to package directions. Once done, set it aside to allow the steam to dissipate.
- In a large pan or wok, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the diced onions and carrots, cooking until tender—about 5 minutes.
- Just when the onions and carrots are nearly tender, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute. Stir in your 1/2 cup of frozen peas and the pre-cooked cauliflower rice, cooking everything together for another 3-4 minutes, or until the peas are warm through.
- Make a well in the center of the mixture. Crack in your 2 eggs and scramble until fully cooked, then mix them into the rest of the ingredients.
- Drizzle in 1 teaspoon of toasted sesame oil and 2 tablespoons of soy sauce. Start with less and do a quick taste test.
- Serve your Cauliflower Fried Rice warm, garnished with toasted sesame seeds if desired.
Notes
Allow the frozen cauliflower rice to thaw slightly before cooking for better texture.
