Ingredients
- 1 medium head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, diced
- 1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, peas, bell peppers, etc.)
- 2 eggs, lightly beaten
- 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce or tamari
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: green onions, sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Cauliflower Rice
- Rinse the cauliflower head and remove the core.
- Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor.
- Pulse the cauliflower until it resembles rice-like grains. Be careful not to over-process.
- Alternatively, you can grate the cauliflower using a box grater.
Step 2: Cook the Vegetables
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic and diced onion to the skillet. Sauté until fragrant and onions are translucent, about 2-3 minutes.
- Stir in the mixed vegetables and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
Step 3: Add Cauliflower Rice
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the empty space.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and stir to combine with the vegetables.
- Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 4: Add Eggs and Seasonings
- Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet and pour the beaten eggs into the empty space.
- Allow the eggs to cook for a minute without stirring, then gently scramble them until fully cooked.
- Once the eggs are cooked, mix them with the cauliflower and vegetables in the skillet.
- Drizzle gluten-free soy sauce or tamari over the cauliflower fried rice and stir well to combine.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
