Cauliflower Fried Rice Recipe
Description
The recipe begins by boiling frozen peas until tender, then cooking cubed pork loin in sesame oil until fully cooked and set aside. Additional sesame oil is heated to sauté sliced green onions, cubed carrots, and minced garlic before adding riced cauliflower, cooking further to soften.
Cooked pork, peas, and soy sauce are incorporated toward the end, allowing flavors to blend while stirring frequently. The dish is finished by scrambling beaten eggs in the pan adjacent to the other ingredients then mixing everything together, adding protein and richness. The result is a grain-free fried rice alternative with a balance of tender pork, crisp vegetables, and soft egg throughout.
Ingredients
- 2 cups peas frozen
- 1/4 cup sesame oil divided

- Add 2 tbsp sesame oil to a wok or large sauce pan and heat to medium-high heat. Add pork and cook for 8-10 minutes or pork is cooked through. Remove meat from pan and set aside.
- Add remaining oil and saute green onions, carrots, and garlic on medium heat for 5 minutes. Add riced cauliflower and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Add pork, peas and soy sauce and cook an additional 5 minutes, making sure to toss frequently.
- Move the ingredients to one side of the pan and pour the beaten eggs into the pan on the opposite side. Cook and scramble eggs for a few minutes before mixing all together.
