Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a wok (or skilleadd sesame oil(highly recommend, I didn’t have stock of sesame oil, so used vegetable oil).
  2. To hot oil, add finely chopped garlic and ginger. Saute and cook for a minute on medium high heat.Pro-Tip : DO NOT use grater for garlic and ginger. This is where you fine knife skills comes to use. Use sharp knife and a study chopping board to get garlic and ginger chopped really fine. Grating will alter it’s texture and that’s not good for fried rice recipe.
  3. Saute in white onions in the oil. Keep it moving, don’t let the ingredients sit still. You do not want the ingredients to brown or over cook. Keep it crunchy (just about cooked).
  4. Add chopped carrots. If using other vegetables, this is the time to all it all in. Stir and cook for 1 or 2 minutes.
  5. Next add in cauliflower rice, cook stirring constantly.Note : Feel free to add a splash of water if vegetables stick to the pan.
  6. Once cauliflower rice is cooked, you add in eggs and frozen peas. Push all ingredients to the side and scramble the eggs or scramble eggs separately and add the cooked eggs to the pan. You choice.
  7. Stir in soy sauce (use tamari sauce for Keto friendly) and toasted sesame oil. Mix it all to combine.Note : Feel free to increase the amount of sauce if you feel cauliflower rice is not seasoned enough.
  8. Add in loads of green onions. Give it a good stir.
  9. Serve immediately or let it cool and store in meal prep boxes in fridge for 2 to 3 days.Note : It starts to develop strong cauliflower flavors after 2 days in the fridge. If you do not like the smell, use it the same day you cook.
