• 1 tablespoon oil (olive oil, sesame oil, or vegetable oil)
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup diced carrots
• 1/4 cup diced bell pepper (any color you prefer)
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 shallot, sliced
• Seasoning sauce ingredients:
• 2-3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 tsp mushroom seasoning
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp sugar
• Optional: Sesame seeds and chopped cilantro for garnish

Directions:

1.    Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and let it heat up for a minute.

3.    Add the minced garlic, shallot, and chopped green onions to the skillet. Cook for another minute until fragrant.

4.    Push the vegetables to the side of the skillet, creating a space in the center. Crack the eggs into the center and scramble them until cooked.

5.    Once the eggs are cooked, add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Stir to combine with the vegetables and eggs.

6.    If using, add your choice of protein to the skillet and cook until heated through.

7.    Pour all the sauce seasoning over the cauliflower rice and stir well to distribute.

8.    Continue to cook for another 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower rice is heated through, and any excess moisture has evaporated.

9.    Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more soy sauce if desired.

10.                       Serve hot, garnished with sesame seeds and chopped cilantro if desired.
