Ingredients

Scale

Vegetable oil
Sesame oil
2 large eggs, beaten
Salt
1 cup chopped scallions (separated into light and dark green parts)
3 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh ginger
Medium to large head of cauliflower or pre-riced cauliflower
45 tablespoons soy sauce (gluten-free if needed)
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots or mixed vegetables
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Optional: 1/4 cup chopped cashews or peanuts


Instructions

1. If using fresh cauliflower, grate it using a food processor or hand grater. If using pre-riced cauliflower, skip this step.
2. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Scramble the eggs with a pinch of salt, then remove and set aside.
3. Wipe the skillet clean, add sesame oil, and sauté the light parts of the scallions, garlic, and ginger until softened.
4. Add the grated cauliflower, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, and a bit of salt to the skillet. Cook for about 3 minutes.
5. Add the peas and carrots, then continue cooking until the cauliflower is tender-crisp and the vegetables are warmed through.
6. Stir in rice vinegar, the remaining sesame oil, dark green scallions, and the scrambled eggs.
7. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional soy sauce if needed. Serve hot.

Notes

🔪 Have all the ingredients prepped before cooking to keep the process smooth and fast.
🥄 Use store-bought riced cauliflower for an even quicker preparation.
🌱 Customize the dish by adding extra vegetables or proteins like chicken, shrimp, or tofu.
