Instructions

Either grate the cauliflower or pulse it in your food processor to make the cauliflower rice.
Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the light parts of the green onions, the garlic, and ginger. Let them cook for 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower rice, diced carrots, coco aminos or soy sauce, and chili flakes and cook for 5 minutes, stirring often.
Add the peas and sesame oil to the pan and continue to cook until the vegetables are soft and the peas are warm.
Push the vegetables to the sides of the pan and pour the remaining teaspoon of oil into the center and let it warm. Pour the eggs into the pan and scramble them. Once they are cooked stir them into the cauliflower rice. Sea salt to taste and stir in the remaining green onions, cashews, and sesame seeds.

Notes

Note 1: You can buy a bag of riced cauliflower to save time if you'd like.
Note 2: Frozen and thawed cauliflower will work in a pinch. Keep in mind that the cauliflower flavor will be much stronger, and frozen cauliflower is always a little mushy.
Note 3: If you have raw cashews, roast them in your oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 7-8 minutes, or until they are golden and fragrant.
