Cauliflower Fried Rice (healthy, low carb, gluten free, dairy free)
A low-carb fried rice option instead of using rice. Cauliflower is an excellent source of Vitamin C, Folate, a very good source of Fiber and Omega-3 Fats, and a good source of Protein. Eggs are a very good source of Vitamin B2, and are a good source Protein and Vitamin D, although the yolks do contain a lot of cholesterol, the yolk also contains tons of nutrients that are good for you.

Ingredients
- Sunflower Oil - 1 tbsp
- Garlic - 3 cloves chopped
- Ginger - 2 inch piece chopped
- Onion - 1 small chopped
- Organic Eggs - 2
- Trader Joe's Cauliflower Rice - 1-16. ounce bag
- Organic Frozen Carrots & Peas - 1 cup
- Organic Frozen Corn - 1/2 cup
- Low-Sodium Soy Sauce - 2 tbsp
- Rice Wine Vinegar - 1 tbsp
- Siracha - 1 tbsp
- Scallions - 1/2 cup chopped
- Toasted Sesame Oil - 1 tsp
- Garlic Powder - 1 tsp
- Black Pepper - 1/4 tsp
- Salt - just a pinch don't overdo it since soy sauce has salt
Instructions
- Chop the garlic, ginger and onion.
- Heat up a wok on medium-high heat. Once hot, add oil. Add ginger and garlic. Saute for 20 seconds.
- Add onion. Saute for a couple minutes.
- Crack 2 eggs over the onion.
- Keep stirring the eggs for a minute or so. They may stick to your wok, that's okay.
- Add the cauliflower fried rice (I used Trader Joe's).
- Stir and let the cauliflower crisp up - about 5 minutes.
- Set aside your frozen ingredients - peas, carrots and corn.
- Once the cauliflower is done, add the frozen veggies. Also add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar and siracha. Stir. Let the cauliflower cook for about 5 minutes until hot.
- In the meantime, chop the scallions.
- Once the fried rice is done, add the scallions. Stir.
- Add a teaspoon of toasted sesame oil.
- Top with garlic powder, black pepper and a touch of salt (if need be).
- On the side I sauteed some bok choy in extra virgin olive oil and garlic. (optional)
- Serve immediately.
