Equipment

wok or large frying pan (12 inch)

Ingredients

1 large cauliflower 700g / 25oz, or use bagged cauliflower rice / frozen cauliflower rice (***see notes)
2 tablespoon Olive oil for frying
½ red pepper chopped into small cubes (82g / 2.8 oz)
½ green pepper chopped into small cubes (82g / 2.8 oz)
3 scallions / spring onions chopped into rings (45g / 1.5 oz), separate the white part from the green
2.5 tablespoon grated fresh ginger 37g / 1.3 oz
1 tablespoon garlic, minced roughly 4 cloves
2 tablespoon coconut aminos or soy sauce / tamari
2 eggs large, whisked, room temperature
salt & pepper to taste
2 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

Prepare the cauliflower rice by pulsing the florets in a food processor to a rice consistency. Don't over-blend.
Place a sauté pan or wok on a medium heat. Add the oil and stir fry the peppers, ginger, garlic and whites of the spring onions / scallions for 3 minutes.
Add the cauliflower and fry for a further 3 minutes, stirring regularly. Mix through the coconut aminos (or soy sauce / tamari) and salt.
Push the cauliflower rice to one side of the pan and add the whisked eggs. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Scramble for approximately 1 minute, or until cooked to your liking, and then mix with the rest of the ingredients.
Stir through sesame oil and remove from the heat. Top with the green part of the onions, check the seasoning and adjust to taste.

***frozen cauliflower rice takes 1-2 minutes longer because it contains more moisture, which has to evaporate.

For a larger meal, serve it with a protein such as duck breast, sliced steak or pork belly. You can also add shrimp, prawns or fish such as salmon or sea bass.

I personally love it with this quick keto lemon chicken breast or my crispy keto chicken wings.

Store in the fridge for up to 2 days. Alternatively, freeze for up to 1 month.
