Ingredients

1 head cauliflower chopped into florets (or 4 cups riced cauliflower)
1 small onion finely chopped
1/2 cup fresh or frozen peas
1/2 cup carrots cubed
2 eggs lightly beaten
1 Tbsp sesame oil
1/4 cup low sodium soy sauce
1 Tbsp honey
2 cloves garlic minced
1/4 tsp fresh grated ginger (or 1/8 tsp ground ginger)
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
2 Tbsp green onions chopped

Instructions

Chop head of cauliflower into florets and place in food processor. Pulse until it starts to resemble rice and set aside. You can also use store-bought fresh or frozen cauliflower rice.
Heat a large pan over medium heat and drizzle in sesame oil. Add chopped onion, peas and carrots and sauté until tender, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Meanwhile in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, garlic, fresh ginger and red pepper flakes. Set aside until ready to use.
In the skillet that you’re cooking the vegetables in, slide the veggie mixture to one side of the pan and add in the beaten eggs, scrambling until cooked through and then incorporate with the veggies.
Stir in cauliflower rice and pour the sauce over top, mixing everything well. Cook for an additional 3 to 4 minutes, until the cauliflower is soft and tender. Top with green onions and serve!

Notes

To Store: Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for 3 to 4 days.
To Reheat: Warm in a skillet over medium heat until heated through, or microwave in short intervals.
To Prep Ahead: Rice the cauliflower and chop the vegetables ahead of time, then store separately in the refrigerator until ready to cook.
To Freeze: I don't recommend freezing cooked cauliflower fried rice, as the cauliflower can become watery and lose its texture once thawed.
