Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 strips bacon cut into 1/2" pieces
- 2 eggs whisked
- 1 Tablespoon butter
- ¼ cup minced shallot
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 head cauliflower about 2 pounds, or two 10-ounce packages prepared cauliflower rice
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 3 Tablespoons soy sauce or tamari
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 2 green onions sliced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the bacon, until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.
- Remove all but 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Add eggs and scramble. Once fully cooked, remove from pan and set aside.
- Add butter to the now-empty skillet and heat until melted. Add shallot and garlic and season with salt and pepper. Sautee for 2-3 minutes, until the shallot has softened.
- Increase heat to high and add in cauliflower rice and peas, stir to combine. Fry over high heat for approximately 3 minutes, until it’s getting nice and brown, and crispy.
- Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, green onions, bacon and eggs and stir to combine. Serve immediately.
Notes
Recipe tips
- Use what you have on hand. Don’t have shallots? Use onions and garlic. No bacon? Leave it out, just add in a bit more butter for sauteeing the veggies. Have some carrots in the fridge? Throw those in there too!
- Use a BIG skillet. This makes a lot of fried rice. You want to make sure things aren’t overflowing, and you want as much cauliflower in contact with the bottom of the pan as possible so that the excess moisture will evaporate.
- Get things HOT! Make sure that you have your heat turned up, and be sure to let that cauliflower get nice and crispy at the end. We actually want to fry the cauliflower rice.
- Want a protein boost? Add in some sauteed or shredded chicken, shrimp, or pork. Or, add in some edamame or cubed tofu.
- Boost the flavor by adding in a bit of sesame oil, ginger, chili oil or sriracha.
- Add extra vegetables like broccoli florets, red bell pepper, jalapenos, or mushrooms.
