Instructions
Rice the Cauliflower
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice grains. Spread the riced cauliflower on a clean towel and press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible.
Cook the Eggs
Heat half the sesame oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in the beaten eggs and scramble them quickly for about 1 minute until just set. Remove eggs and set them aside.
Stir Fry the Cauliflower
Add remaining sesame oil to the hot wok. Add grated ginger and stir for 30 seconds then add the cauliflower rice and turmeric. Stir fry on high heat for 6 minutes until the cauliflower is tender and golden.
Combine and Finish
Add the thawed peas and scrambled eggs back into the wok. Toss everything together over high heat for 2 minutes until the peas are heated through and all ingredients are evenly combined and golden.
