Let’s put it out there right now – when you're focused on your nutrition and eating clean you start to miss take-out, especially Chinese food...amiright?! So what exactly does take-out entail? You call up a restaurant, place your order, wait anywhere from 35 to 90 minutes, scarf down greasy, over done, and most of the time sub-par food before falling deep into a food coma full of regret. Sound familiar?

Well, the part we love the most, the food, no longer has to be sub-par or unappealingly greasy. With this Cauliflower Fried Rice you can make your “take-out” exactly to your liking and enjoy a delicious meal after which you won’t feel any regret! No matter who you are, cooking can be made simple enough for you to do and fun enough for you to want to get up and do. We’ve achieved both by way of this easy, one skillet recipe.

INGREDIENTS

2 frozen bags of Cauliflower Rice/Peas/Carrot Mix
1 T. minced garlic to taste
2 1/2 cups of Broccoli
1 bunch of Green Onion chopped (about 3/4 – 1 c.)
3/4 c. frozen or canned peas
2 Chicken Breasts or 1/2 pound Shrimp (or go meatless)
Salt & Pepper to taste
2-3 T. Sesame Seed Oil
3 T. Braggs Amino Acid (or light Soy Sauce) or add to your taste

INSTRUCTIONS

Depending on your meat preference (possibilities are endless) Chicken, Shrimp, Scallops, Ground Turkey, Tofu or Lean Beef. This needs to be prepared separately. I used Shrimp which I seasoned (garlic powder, salt, cayenne, ginger & Chili Powder) in a lightly oiled (sesame oil) skillet.
Once meat is done, dice into small pieces and set aside.
Drain any grease and in the same skillet/wok add 1 T. of sesame oil or slightly more if needed.
Add all the Cauliflower Mix along with the minced garlic.
Cook for about 10-15 minutes and keep stirring.
Once you hit the 10 minute mark add 1 egg and continue stirring as the egg will scramble…
Add green onion, broccoli and neat while stirring frequently.
Add in the remaining 1-2 tbsp’s of sesame seed oil and Bragg's Amino Acid (soy sauce) and cook for about 5 more minutes or until the veggies have reached your desired crunch. Feel free to add more soy or sesame oil for a bit more flavor.

Full Disclosure: You won’t miss Chinese take out ever again after you’ve tried this recipe. You’ll be saving money, time, and carbs from now on! You’re welcome, keto fam
