Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 1 cup cooked ham, diced
- 1 medium zucchini, diced
- 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
- 0.5 cup frozen peas
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce (or coconut aminos for stricter keto)
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (or avocado oil)
- 2 stalks green onion, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
Instructions
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the diced zucchini and red bell pepper to the skillet. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant. Remove the vegetables from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked. Transfer the scrambled eggs to the plate with the sautéed vegetables.
Add the sesame oil to the skillet, then stir in the diced ham. Cook for 2–3 minutes, allowing the ham to brown slightly.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet with the ham. Stir frequently and cook for about 5 minutes until the cauliflower rice is tender but not mushy.
Return the cooked vegetables and scrambled eggs to the skillet. Add the frozen peas, soy sauce (or coconut aminos), salt, and ground black pepper, stirring well to combine.
Cook for another 2–3 minutes until everything is heated through and the flavors are well combined.
Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with sliced green onions.
Serve immediately and enjoy this delicious keto-friendly vegetable and ham fried rice!
