Ingredients
  

1 medium head of cauliflower (or 4 cups riced cauliflower)

2 tablespoons vegetable oil (or substitute with sesame oil for a hint of nuttiness)

2 large eggs, lightly beaten

1 cup carrots, diced into small cubes

1 cup bell peppers, diced (choose your favorite color for vibrancy)

1/2 cup frozen peas

3 green onions, finely sliced

3 cloves garlic, minced finely

2 tablespoons soy sauce (opt for low sodium to control saltiness)

1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional for depth of flavor)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for flavorful garnishing)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh cilantro, for garnish (optional for a fresh finish)

Instructions
 

Rice the Cauliflower: Start by cutting the cauliflower into smaller florets, then remove the leaves and thick stem. Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until they achieve a rice-like consistency. Alternatively, you can use a box grater for a similar texture. Set aside.

    Cook the Eggs: In a large skillet or wok, warm 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs, swirling the pan to form a thin layer. Cook for around 1-2 minutes, just until the eggs are set but still tender. Remove from the pan, chop into small pieces, and set aside for later incorporation.

      Sauté Vegetables: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Once hot, toss in the diced carrots and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they start to soften. Add the minced garlic, stirring for an additional 30 seconds, watching closely to prevent burning.

        Add the Cauliflower Rice: Introduce the riced cauliflower and frozen peas to the skillet, mixing well with the sautéed vegetables. Cook for approximately 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower is tender yet retains a slight crunch.

          Season the Mixture: Drizzle the soy sauce and, if using, the oyster sauce over the cauliflower mix. Toss thoroughly to ensure even distribution, making sure all the cauliflower is coated. Season with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.

            Combine Everything: Gently fold in the reserved cooked eggs and sliced green onions, allowing everything to warm through for another 1-2 minutes. This helps the flavors meld beautifully.

              Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with sesame seeds and fresh cilantro if desired for added color and flavor. Serve immediately, either as a delightful side dish or a satisfying main course.
