Ingredients
Scale
For the Fried Rice:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or sesame oil for extra flavor)
- 1 small onion, diced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup diced carrots
- 1 cup frozen peas (or mixed vegetables)
- 4 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or pre-riced from the store)
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (low-sodium preferred)
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for umami)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, for finishing)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Optional Add-Ins:
- 1 cup cooked protein (chicken, shrimp, beef, tofu, or edamame)
- Green onions, sliced (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
Instructions
Sauté the Vegetables:
- Heat the olive oil (or sesame oil) in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the diced onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the minced garlic, diced carrots, and frozen peas, cooking for another 3-4 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.
Cook the Eggs:
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble them until fully cooked. Mix the eggs with the vegetables.
Add the Cauliflower:
- Stir in the riced cauliflower, breaking up any clumps with a spatula. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is tender but still slightly firm.
Season and Finish:
- Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), and sesame oil (if using). Stir well to combine and coat everything evenly. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt, black pepper, or additional soy sauce if needed.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Divide the cauliflower fried rice among serving plates. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Serve hot as a main dish or alongside your favorite protein for a complete meal.
