Ingredients
– 2-pound head of cauliflower or 2 pounds of prepackaged cauliflower rice
– 2 large beaten eggs
– 1 cup of chopped scallions, separated into white and green parts
– 3 minced garlic cloves
– 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger
– 4 to 5 tablespoons of soy sauce
– 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
– 1 teaspoon sugar
– 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
– 1 teaspoon sesame oil
– 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots
– 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil for scrambling eggs
– 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil for sautΓ©ing
– 1/4 teaspoon salt for seasoning
– Optionally, 1/4 cup of chopped cashews or peanuts for added crunch
Instructions
1-Start by grating the cauliflower or using 2 pounds of prepackaged cauliflower rice to set the base. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, then scramble the 2 large beaten eggs with a pinch of salt and set them aside for later. In the same pan, add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil and sautΓ© the white parts of the 1 cup of chopped scallions, 3 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of finely chopped fresh ginger for 3 to 4 minutes until they soften and release their aroma.
2-Next, add the grated cauliflower along with 4 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon salt, stirring everything together. Cook for about 3 minutes to let the flavors blend while keeping the cauliflower tender-crisp. Then, stir in the 1 cup of frozen peas and carrots and continue cooking until the vegetables warm through and the cauliflower reaches the perfect texture.
3-Finally, mix in 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, 1 teaspoon sesame oil, the green parts of the scallions, and optionally 1/4 cup of chopped cashews or peanuts, along with the scrambled eggs. Taste and adjust seasoning with more soy sauce if needed, then serve it hot for a fresh, healthy meal. This approach ensures a balanced dish with approximately 273 calories per serving, making it a smart choice for diet-conscious individuals.

π₯ Use a food processor to rice the cauliflower quickly and evenly for the best texture
π₯ Keep the heat at medium-high and don’t overcrowd the pan to ensure the cauliflower gets lightly browned rather than steamed
π₯ Toast the optional cashews or peanuts separately in a dry pan for 2-3 minutes before adding to enhance their flavor and crunch
