Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (about 4 cups)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 stalks green onions, sliced thinly
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1/2 cup diced bell peppers or frozen peas
  • 2 tablespoons coconut aminos or soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or neutral oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings: toasted sesame seeds or chopped cilantro

Instructions

  1. Rice the cauliflower: Cut the cauliflower into chunks and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains (about 1-2 minutes). If using a grater, grate the florets carefully.
  2. Drain excess moisture: Place the riced cauliflower in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as possible to ensure crispiness.
  3. Prep the eggs: In a small bowl, lightly beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. Set aside.
  4. Heat the pan: Warm 1 tablespoon of avocado oil over medium-high heat. Pour in the eggs and scramble gently until just set. Transfer to a plate and wipe out the pan.
  5. Cook aromatics: Add remaining oil, then sauté garlic and ginger for about 30 seconds until fragrant, stirring constantly.
  6. Add veggies: Toss in bell peppers (or peas) and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still vibrant.
  7. Fry the cauliflower rice: Add the drained cauliflower to the pan in an even layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 2-3 minutes to develop a golden crust. Then stir and repeat a couple more times to get a nice crispy texture throughout (about 8-10 minutes total).
  8. Season and combine: Stir in coconut aminos or soy sauce, green onions, and cooked eggs. Mix well and cook for another 1-2 minutes to spread flavors evenly.
  9. Final taste check: Adjust salt and pepper as needed. If desired, sprinkle some chili flakes for heat.
  10. Serve immediately: Garnish with sesame seeds or fresh cilantro for a pop of color and flavor.

Notes

Dry the riced cauliflower thoroughly to avoid sogginess. Do not overcrowd the pan to allow proper searing and crisping. Use avocado or grapeseed oil for high smoke point. Let cauliflower sit undisturbed to form a crust before stirring. Reheat leftovers in a skillet to maintain crispiness.
