Ingredients  

  • 2 tsp EVOO/avocado oil - for eggs
  • 3 TBSP EVOO/avocado oil - for cauliflower
  • 1 head cauliflower - OR 16oz frozen cauliflower rice for every head of cauli
  • 2 large eggs - beaten
  • 1 cup scallions - sliced, white and green parts separated
  • 3 cloves garlic - minced OR 1 Dorot garlic pod for every clove
  • 1 inch fresh ginger - grated OR 1 Dorot ginger pod for every inch
  • 1/2 cup coconut aminos - OR half the amount of reduced sodium soy sauce
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • fine sea salt - to taste at the end
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots - optional

Instructions

  • If using cauliflower heads: Grate the cauliflower in a food processor fitted with the grating disc. Alternatively, grate on the large holes of a box or hand-held grater. Set aside. (Skip this step if using "ready to cook" cauliflower rice.)
  • Heat EVOO/avocado oil for eggs in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and a pinch of salt and scramble until the eggs are cooked. Transfer to a small plate and set aside. Wipe the pan clean.
  • Add EVOO/avocado oil for cauliflower to the pan and set over medium heat. Add the light scallions, garlic, and ginger and cook, stirring often, until softened but not browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the grated cauliflower, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and salt to taste (if needed). Cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes.
  • Add the peas and carrots (optional) and continue cooking until the cauliflower rice is tender-crisp and the vegetables are warmed through, a few minutes.
  • Stir in the rice vinegar, sesame oil, dark green scallions and eggs. Serve hot.
