Ingredients

Cauliflower Rice

  • 1 teaspoon avocado oil
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil
  • 1 small red onion diced
  • 2 teaspoons ginger minced
  • 3 cups cauliflower riced, see notes
  • 8 ounces broccoli cut into florets
  • 2 carrots diced
  • 6 ounces crimini mushrooms chopped
  • 6 asparagus spears chopped into 1" pieces
  • 1/2 cup snow peas chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper diced
  • 8 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • green onions for garnish
  • sesame seeds for garnish

Sauce

Instructions

  • In a large sauté pan, add the teaspoon of avocado oil. Turn the head to medium low and once the oil is hot, add whisked eggs. Cook until soft throughout and quickly remove from the pan and set aside. Wipe out any residual egg until the pan is clean.
  • Add sesame oil and the rest of the avocado oil to the pan and turn the heat to medium. Add diced onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until soft throughout. Add minced ginger and stir for one minute.
  • Add riced cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, mushrooms and asparagus. Sauté for 7-10 minutes until soft throughout. Add the rest of the vegetables, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well. Cook until the rest of the veggies are cooked through, roughly 5-7 more minutes but stirring frequently.
  • While the rice and veggies are cooking, prepare the sauce. Whisk all of the sauce ingredients together in a small bowl. Once the rice and veggies are nearly done cooking, stir in the sauce and lower the heat to low. Add the spices. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the sauce has saturated through everything. Add the cooked eggs back in. Taste for additional salt and pepper. Serve right away and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

Notes

You can rice cauliflower yourself using a food processor or grab a few bags of already riced cauliflower in the fresh or frozen section of your local grocery store. I'd recommend defrosting it in the refrigerator overnight if you are using frozen.
Be sure to get your hands on Red Boat fish sauce. It tastes absolutely fabulous, and it is the only Whole30 compliant fish sauce I have found.
