Ingredients

To Process:

  • 1/2 medium cauliflower approximately 3/4 pound
  • 1 broccoli crown approximately 1/2 pound

Additional Ingredients:

  • 1 red bell pepper or any color
  • 1 10 ounce bag of peas and carrots frozen
  • 1 cup edamame frozen
  • 1/4 cup yellow onion diced
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos
  • pinch salt optional*
  • pinch pepper optional and to taste

Garnishment: (optional)

  • Additional soy sauce to taste preference
  • sea salt to taste preference
  • Sesame seeds
  • scallions chopped

Instructions

  • Cut the caulilfower and broccoli into small florets, add to food processor and pulse until they have both reached a rice-like consistency.
  • Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-heat with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil.
  • Once heated, add the onions and garlic. Saute until tender - approximately 3-4 minutes.
  • Add chopped bell pepper. Allow to cook 3-4 minutes.
  • Once the vegetables have softened a bit, push them to the side. If need be, add a teensy bit more sesame oil to the bare side of the skillet to warm.
  • Add the eggs and stir to break the yolk. Allow to cook through.
  • Add the peas, carrots, and edamame to the skillet once the eggs have cooked and allow to cook for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add the last tablespoon of sesame oil to the pan, stir well, and mix in the cauliflower/broccoli "rice".
  • Stir the mixture well to fully incorporate the oil and allow to pan fry for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the soy sauce, pepper, and if you prefer - additional salt.
  • Serve warm.

Notes

*Adding additional salt is completely optional. Everyones palate for salt level is different, so add to your preference if the l0w-sodium soy sauce is not as salty as you would like. If you use regular soy sauce - reduce the amount of soy sauce used, adding first 2 tablespoons to the pan and then any additional per your taste preference.
