Instructions
Prepare your cauliflower rice by either purchasing pre-riced cauliflower or ricing a cauliflower head in a food processor until it resembles grains of rice. Set aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
Add the diced onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
Stir in the diced carrots, red bell pepper, and zucchini. Sauté for about 5-7 minutes until the vegetables start to soften.
Add the frozen green peas, minced garlic, and freshly grated ginger. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring frequently.
Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the other side. Pour in the whisked eggs and scramble them until they're fully cooked, then mix them into the vegetables.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is tender and heated through.
Stir in the coconut aminos and rice vinegar, ensuring everything is well-coated. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with green onions. Optionally, drizzle with a small amount of sesame oil for extra flavor.
Serve hot and enjoy your Whole30 veggie fried rice!
