Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups cauliflower rice
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 stalks green onions
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 medium carrot
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing all ingredients. Finely chop the garlic cloves and slice the green onions. Peel and dice the carrot into small cubes.
In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the beaten eggs and scramble them until fully cooked. Remove the eggs from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Once heated, add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the diced carrot and peas, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until they are tender.
Stir in the cauliflower rice, mixing well with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is cooked through and slightly golden.
Add the cooked eggs back into the pan, breaking them into smaller pieces as you stir them through the cauliflower rice.
Pour the soy sauce and sesame oil over the mixture, stirring to ensure everything is well-coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Finally, add the sliced green onions, giving the mixture one last stir. Serve hot and enjoy your low carb egg fried rice!
