- 1 head cauliflower, riced (or 4 cups pre-riced cauliflower)
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small carrot, diced
- 1/2 cup frozen peas
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 2 scallions, sliced (optional)
Instructions
If using a whole cauliflower, remove the stem and leaves and cut the florets into small pieces. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they are about the size of rice grains. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat.
Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the skillet and stir-fry for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Add the diced carrot and frozen peas to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, or until the veggies are tender.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and stir-fry for another 3-5 minutes, or until the cauliflower is cooked through and slightly crispy.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the cauliflower rice and veggies and stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, or until everything is evenly coated.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Garnish with sliced scallions, if desired.
Serve the Cauliflower Fried Rice hot, as a main dish or side dish.
