Ingredients:

  • 1 tbsp sesame oil or olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (or ¼ tsp ground ginger)

  • ½ cup diced onion

  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots

  • 3 cups riced cauliflower (fresh or frozen)

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 tbsp coconut aminos or low-sodium soy sauce

  • Salt & black pepper to taste

  • Optional toppings: chopped green onions, sesame seeds, sriracha

 

Instructions:

  1. Sauté aromatics
    Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and onion. Sauté 2–3 minutes until fragrant and softened.

  2. Add veggies & cauliflower rice
    Stir in peas, carrots, and cauliflower rice. Cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is hot and cauliflower is tender.

  3. Scramble the eggs
    Push mixture to one side of the pan. Pour beaten eggs into the empty space, scramble until cooked, then stir into the rest of the skillet.

  4. Add sauce & finish
    Stir in coconut aminos or soy sauce. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cook 1–2 more minutes. Top with green onions and serve hot!

 

Sarah’s Tips:

  • Want protein? Add diced chicken, shrimp, or tofu for a full meal.

  • Frozen cauliflower rice works perfectly — just thaw slightly and pat dry.

  • No peas and carrots? Use a frozen veggie blend or whatever’s in the fridge!

  • Make it spicy: Add a dash of sriracha or red pepper flakes.

 

Flavorful Conclusion:

This Skillet Cauliflower Fried Rice is light, flavorful, and seriously satisfying — perfect for cleaning out the fridge, packing in veggies, or just getting dinner on the table fast. It’s a low-carb comfort classic you’ll want in regular rotation.
