Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 pound cauliflower florets, riced
  • 1 cup chopped mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Instructions

  1. Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the riced cauliflower and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, until tender-crisp.
  3. Push the cauliflower to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs into the empty space and scramble until cooked through.
  4. Add the mixed vegetables, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes until the vegetables are tender and fragrant.
  5. In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sriracha (if using).
  6. Pour the sauce over the cauliflower mixture and toss to combine.
  7. Cook for 1-2 minutes more, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
  8. Stir in the chopped scallions.
  9. Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds.

Notes

  • You can buy pre-riced cauliflower to save time.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables like broccoli, snap peas, or mushrooms.
