- Add the peas and sweet corn to the skillet. Stir well and cook for another 2 minutes until they are heated through.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir everything together and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.

- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your healthy and delicious Cauliflower Fried Rice with Peas and Corn!
Tips:
- Ricing the cauliflower: To make cauliflower rice, you can use a food processor, box grater, or buy pre-riced cauliflower. If using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they reach a rice-like consistency.
- Avoid sogginess: Make sure to cook the cauliflower rice over medium-high heat to prevent it from becoming soggy. Cook it just until it is tender, which usually takes about 5-8 minutes.
- Use fresh ingredients: For optimal flavor and texture, use fresh garlic, onion, peas, and corn. If fresh peas and corn are not available, frozen ones will work as well.
- Adjust seasoning: Feel free to add a bit more soy sauce or other seasonings like ginger or chili flakes to suit your taste preferences.
