Ingredients

1 large cauliflower * See notes
1 tablespoon oil
2 cloves garlic chopped finely
1 large onion chopped finely
1 teaspoon ginger spring onions
1/4 cup carrots chopped finely
1/2 large bell pepper chopped
1 cup frozen peas
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 large eggs whisked
1/4 cup soy sauce

Instructions

In a high-speed blender or food processor, add the chopped cauliflower and pulse until a rice-like consistency. Set aside. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower.
In a large wok or skillet, add the oil and place over medium heat. Once hot, add the onions, ginger, and garlic and fry for 1-2 minutes. Add the carrots, peppers, and frozen peas. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until softened.
Remove the vegetables from the skillet. Add the sesame oil, then the eggs, and gently scramble them.
Mix them through the cauliflower rice, add soy sauce, and stir fry for 1-2 minutes, until the cauliflower is hot.
Add the remaining vegetables and serve.

Notes

* If you use frozen or pre-made cauliflower rice, use three cups.

TO STORE: Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator in air-tight containers for up to 3 days.

TO FREEZE: Place the cooked cauliflower fried rice in a container to freeze for 2-3 months.

TO REHEAT: Always reheat the rice in a non-stick pan until hot.

Recipe variations

Add protein. To make a heartier dish, I like to add chopped chicken breast, sauteed shrimp, or beef.
Make vegan fried rice. Skip the egg and add crispy baked tofu.
Garnish. While optional, I like to add toasted sesame seeds and chopped green onions for extra flavor and a pop of color.
Make kimchi fried rice. Add ½ cup of drained and chopped kimchi to the skillet right before serving.
