Pork fried cauliflower rice is an easy lunch idea that only takes 32 minutes to cook. Let's go through the steps together.

First, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil in a cast-iron (or similarly heavy) skillet over medium heat. Then add onions, carrots, and peas.

Add another tablespoon of sesame oil to the skillet and brown the pork in the oil for 7-8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Put cooked pork with the onions, peas, and carrots. Cook your beaten eggs in the same skillet for 4 minutes while stirring. Put the eggs with the pork and veggies. Finally, add the rest of the sesame oil to the skillet to cook and mix the cauliflower rice, pork eggs, and vegetables together.

  • We use a ready-to-heat cilantro lime cauliflower rice, but you can make your own.

  • Fry with butter instead of (or with) sesame oil for crisp, tastier, and brown-colored fried rice.

  • Substitute sesame oil for oyster sauce for additional acidity, or use the oyster sauce with sesame oil.

  • Finely dice your scallions on a sharp angle.
