Ingredients

  • 1 medium head of cauliflower
  • 1 cup carrots
  • 1 cup snap peas
  • 1 cup baby corn
  • 1 cup fresh or canned pineapple (chunks)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup fresh ginger root
  • 1/4 cup fresh garlic
  • 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • Sriracha Chili Sauce (to taste, optional)
  • cashews (garnish, optional)
  • cilantro (garnish, optional)

Instructions

  • Chop up the head of cauliflower into florets, then add to the food processor with the chopping blade. Process until cauliflower is broken up into rice-sized pieces. Only fill the food processor ½ full, and process in batches.
  • Prepare the vegetables and pineapple by chopping them into bite-sized pieces.
  • In a large frying pan, lightly scramble the eggs, cooking them about half way. Set them aside in a dish.
  • Mince or finely slice the garlic and ginger. Add ½ tablespoon of sesame oil to the frying pan, and saute over medium low heat for 5-10 minutes, until soft.
  • Turn the heat up to medium-high, and add the remaining ½ tablespoon of sesame oil, and the chopped stir-fry vegetables and pineapple to the pan. Continue to cook until vegetables are tender. Then, add the "riced" cauliflower, and mix well. Continue to stir and cook until cauliflower is soft. Stir in the eggs, and allow to fully cook into the mixture.
  • Add soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and Sriracha. Adjust the soy sauce and Sriracha to taste.
  • Garnish with fresh chopped cilantro and toasted cashews-- optional, but highly recommended!
