Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 medium head cauliflower, stem removed
3 teaspoons canola or vegetable oil
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
3 cloves garlic, minced
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
1 cup frozen mixed peas and carrots, thawed
1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for serving, optional
2 tablespoons sesame oil
2 cooked chicken breasts, diced (I used a rotisserie chicken)
Hot sauce, for serving, optional

Steps:

  • Cut the cauliflower into chunks. Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until coarse in texture, like rice. This recipe uses about 4 cups of cauliflower rice. If you have any leftover, save it for another use.
  • Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of the canola oil. Add the eggs and quickly scramble. Transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside. Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons canola oil. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring constantly, about 1 minute. Add the peas and carrots, scallions and cauliflower. Stir-fry until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
  • As the vegetables are cooking, whisk the soy sauce and sesame oil together in a small bowl. Stir the sauce and chicken into the cauliflower mixture. Cook an additional minute or 2. Stir the cooked eggs back into the mixture. Serve with hot sauce and additional soy sauce if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 head of cauliflower, stem removed, head cut into florets
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 green onions, sliced thin
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon chili paste, plus more if desired
1/2 cup shredded carrots
1 cup packed baby spinach
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons butter
4 eggs
Sriracha (if desired)
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • In batches, pulse the cauliflower in a food processor until rice-size crumbs form. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
  • Put a large skillet over medium heat and add the vegetable oil and sesame oil. Add two-thirds of the green onions, the garlic, ginger and chili paste. Cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes. Raise the heat to medium high and add the carrots and spinach; continue to cook, stirring, until the spinach has wilted, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Continuing to stir constantly, add the cauliflower rice. Cook until the cauliflower is tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Pour in the soy sauce and stir, scraping the bottom of the skillet, until the liquid has evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes longer.
  • Meanwhile, melt the butter in a second skillet over medium heat. Crack in the eggs; as they cook, spoon hot butter over the whites of the eggs so that the whites set without flipping. Towards the end of cooking, carefully spoon hot butter over the yolks and cook until the eggs reach the desired doneness.
  • Remove the pan with the cauliflower from the heat, drizzle with sriracha, and sprinkle with the toasted sesame seeds and reserved green onions. Divide between 4 plates and top each serving with an egg.

3 carrots, peeled and diced (1 cup)
1 yellow onion, chopped (1 cup)
3 cloves garlic, minced (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon minced ginger (from a 1-inch piece)
1 tablespoon sambal oelek
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce

Steps:

  • Pulse cauliflower florets in 2 batches a food processor until finely chopped, but not pureed, about 6 quick pulses (4 cups chopped cauliflower).
  • Heat a large cast iron pan or wok over high until very hot, about 2 minutes (a sprinkle of water should evaporate immediately). Add 2 teaspoons oil and swirl to coat. Beat together eggs, 2 teaspoons water, and 1/8 teaspoon salt. Add egg mixture to pan and cook, pushing eggs toward center of pan to form large, soft curds, about 30 seconds. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add 2 tablespoons oil, carrots, and onion to pan; cook 2 to 3 minutes until softened and beginning to brown. Add garlic, ginger, and sambal oelek; cook stirring until fragrant, 1 minute. Add cauliflower; cook stirring occasionally and scraping the bottom of the pan, until just barely tender, 2 minutes. Remove from pan to a large bowl; add back eggs. Stir in peas and soy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Use a food processor or grater to quickly and easily rice the cauliflower. This will save you time and effort, and it will also help to create even-sized pieces of cauliflower rice.
  • Be sure to press the cauliflower rice dry before cooking it. This will help to prevent the rice from becoming soggy.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the cauliflower rice. This will give the rice plenty of room to cook evenly.
  • Cook the cauliflower rice over medium-high heat. This will help to create a slightly crispy texture.
  • Stir the cauliflower rice frequently while cooking. This will help to prevent the rice from sticking to the pan and burning.
  • Add your favorite vegetables, protein, and sauce to the cauliflower rice. This will create a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion.
