Description
A bright, low carb cauliflower fried rice with pineapple, egg, vegetables, sesame, garlic, ginger, and fresh herbs for a sweet and savory skillet meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 cups cauliflower rice, fresh or frozen
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/2 cup pineapple chunks, diced small
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
- 1/3 cup frozen peas, thawed
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced and divided
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 3 tablespoons coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- 1/4 teaspoon salt, adjust to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
Instructions
- Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat for 1 to 2 minutes.
- In a small bowl, stir together coconut aminos, toasted sesame oil, lime juice, salt, and black pepper.
- Add 1 teaspoon avocado oil to the skillet, then pour in the beaten eggs and scramble until just set, about 1 minute. Transfer eggs to a plate.
- Add the remaining avocado oil to the skillet. Stir in garlic, ginger, red bell pepper, peas, and the white parts of the green onions. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes.
- Add cauliflower rice and cook for 5 to 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender and lightly golden in spots.
- Add pineapple and scrambled egg back to the skillet. Pour in the sauce and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until hot and glossy.
- Stir in most of the green onion tops and cilantro. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
- Serve warm with the remaining green onions and cilantro on top.
Notes
- Pat cauliflower rice dry before cooking for the best fried rice texture.
- Add pineapple near the end so it stays juicy and bright.
- Use a wide skillet to prevent the cauliflower rice from steaming too much.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
