Ingredients
Recipe yields 4 servings
1 medium head cauliflower, cut into florets
1 Tbsp olive oil
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tsp minced fresh ginger
5 scallions sliced, whites and greens separated
1/2 cup diced carrots
1/2 cup frozen peas

Directions
Step 1

In a food processor, place half of the cauliflower and pulse until the cauliflower just reaches a rice consistency. (Do not overpulse or the cauliflower will get mushy.) Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.

Step 2

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the garlic, ginger and scallion whites and sauté for 1 minute. Add the carrots, peas and broccoli and sauté for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until vegetables are just tender.

Step 3

Increase the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower “rice,” the scrambled egg, tamari, sesame oil, cilantro and red-pepper flakes (if using) and stir to combine. Sauté for about 5 to 6 minutes, or until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside. Remove from heat and top with scallion greens and sesame seeds.
