Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 1 pound Pork tenderloin
- 0.25 cup Coconut aminos
- 3 large Eggs
- 4 stalks Green onions
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch piece Ginger
- 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower head and chop it into large florets.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble the size of rice grains. Set aside.
Cut the pork tenderloin into thin strips. Mince the garlic cloves and ginger. Slice the green onions and grate the carrot.
In a small bowl, beat the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
In a large skillet or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the beaten eggs and scramble them gently until just set. Remove the scrambled eggs from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the pork strips, season with salt and pepper, and cook until browned and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes. Remove the pork from the skillet and set aside.
Add the ginger and garlic to the skillet and cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the remaining coconut oil, followed by the riced cauliflower, grated carrot, and sliced green onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are tender, about 5-7 minutes.
Return the pork and scrambled eggs to the skillet with the cauliflower mixture. Pour in the coconut aminos and sesame oil, tossing everything to combine evenly. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to heat through.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 Classic Pork Fried Rice!
