Ingredients

  • 1 medium head
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • cooking spray
  • 1/2 small onion
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas and carrots
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 5 scallions
  • 3 tbsp soy sauce
  • pinch of salt
  • 2 egg whites
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. 1

    Begin by removing the core of the cauliflower and ensuring it is thoroughly dried.

  2. 2

    Cut the cauliflower into small florets. Next, take half of the florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the pieces are finely chopped and resemble the texture of rice or couscous; be careful not to over-process to avoid a mushy consistency. Set this aside and repeat the process with the remaining florets.

  3. 3

    In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and egg whites using a fork. Add a pinch of salt for seasoning.

  4. 4

    Preheat a large sauté pan or wok over medium heat and lightly coat it with cooking spray.

  5. 5

    Pour the beaten eggs into the pan and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are fully set; then transfer them to a separate dish.

  6. 6

    In the same pan, add sesame oil, followed by the onions, white parts of the scallions, peas, carrots, and minced garlic. Sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the vegetables soften. Then, increase the heat to medium-high.

  7. 7

    Introduce the cauliflower "rice" to the pan along with the soy sauce. Stir well, cover, and allow it to cook for around 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the exterior is slightly crispy while the interior remains tender.

  8. 8

    Incorporate the cooked eggs back into the mixture, then remove the pan from heat and fold in the green parts of the scallions.
