Instructions

1️⃣ Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

If not using store-bought, grate a medium head of cauliflower using a food processor or hand grater until it resembles rice grains.

2️⃣ Cook the Eggs:

Heat 1 tsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Add beaten eggs with a pinch of salt, scramble until cooked, then set aside.

3️⃣ Sauté Aromatics:

In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp vegetable oil.
Sauté light parts of the scallions, ginger, and garlic for 2 minutes until fragrant.

4️⃣ Cook the Cauliflower & Seasonings:

Increase heat to medium-high and add cauliflower rice, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, and a pinch of salt.
Stir frequently and cook for 3 minutes until tender-crisp.

5️⃣ Add Vegetables & Eggs:

Stir in peas and carrots, cooking for 2-3 minutes until heated through.
Add rice vinegar, sesame oil, dark green scallions, and scrambled eggs. Stir to combine.

6️⃣ Serve & Garnish:

Adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped nuts and extra scallions, if desired.
