Ingredients:

• 2-pound cauliflower head (or 2 x pounds “ready to cook” cauliflower rice)
• 5 scallions, chopped with light and green parts separated
• 1 cup frozen peas and carrots 
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, finely chopped
• ¼ cup chopped cashews or peanuts (optional)
• 2 eggs, beaten 
• 4 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
• 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
• Salt

Instructions:

1. Grate the cauliflower in a food processor or using the large holes of a hand-held grater. (Skip this step if using “ready to cook” cauliflower rice.)
2. Heat 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil in a large non-stick skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the eggs and a pinch of salt and scramble until the eggs are cooked. Transfer to a small plate and set aside. Wipe the pan clean.
3. Add 3 tablespoons of vegetable oil to the pan and set over medium heat. Add the light scallions, garlic, and ginger and cook for 3-4 minutes (stirring often) until softened but not browned. Add the grated cauliflower, soy sauce, red pepper flakes, sugar, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring often, for about 3 minutes. Add the peas and carrots and continue cooking until the cauliflower rice is tender-crisp and the vegetables are warmed through. Stir in the rice vinegar, sesame oil, dark green scallions, nuts, and eggs. Serve hot.

Cauliflower Rice

Cauliflower rice is huge nowadays as a great carb-free alternative to regular rice. You can also use cauliflower rice to make things like cauliflower bread and pizza, which is a great option.

However, buying the pre-made rice at the grocery store is super pricy, and it’s just so easy to do at home! All you have to do is take a head of cauliflower, roughly cut off the florets from the head, and put them in a food processor and blend until they’re riced!

Grated Carrots

Grated carrots are another silly waste of money since it’s so easy to do at home. All you have to do is take a box grater and grate the carrots yourself, and you’ll find that the amount of carrots that actually go into a bag of grated carrots is so little and you’ll save yourself a lot of money.

Alternatively, you can also put the grating plate into your food processor and do them even more easily in there!
