Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium-sized head of cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons sesame oil
  • 1 large carrot, cubed
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 cup frozen edamame
  • 2 beaten eggs (use scrambled tofu for vegan)
  • 3 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (use tamari for GF)
  • 6 green onions, minced

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Grate the cauliflower using the largest holes of a box grater, or pulse roughly cut cauliflower in a food processor until it forms small, rice-like pieces.
Cooking
  1. Warm 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the carrot and garlic, then stir-fry for about 5 minutes, until fragrant.
  2. Add the riced cauliflower, edamame, and remaining sesame oil. Stir-fry briefly until the cauliflower is soft but still holds its texture.
  3. Push the vegetables aside to create an opening in the center of the skillet and reduce the heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and stir gently and continuously until fully cooked.
  4. Stir in the soy sauce and minced green onions immediately before serving.

Notes

Cook the cauliflower only until soft but not mushy to maintain a rice-like texture.
