Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large head cauliflower (about 1 1/2 to 2 pounds) or two bags (12 ounces each) frozen grated cauliflower rice
  • peanut oil or another neutral flavor oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • kosher salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped onions
  • 3 medium cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger or ginger paste
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce, or to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili paste (sambal), or more
  • 1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed
  • 1/4 cup frozen diced carrots, thawed
  • 1/4 cup frozen corn kernels, thawed
  • 4 to 6 scallions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil

Instructions

  1. If you are using fresh cauliflower, grate it using a grater or food processor with the medium to large-hole disk. Set aside.
  2. Beat the eggs in a small bowl with a dash of salt.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the beaten eggs and cook, stirring and breaking up, until set. Remove the eggs to a plate and set aside. Wipe out the pan.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in the skillet over medium heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and ginger and continue cooking for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
  5. Add the grated cauliflower, soy sauce, and chili paste to the skillet and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Add the vegetables and continue cooking and stirring for about 5 minutes. Stir in sesame oil and scallions. Add the eggs to the mixture. Taste and adjust seasonings with more salt or soy sauce, as needed. Stir to blend and heat through.
