Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Dice the red pepper.
- Peel and chop the carrots.
- Rice the cauliflower by grating it or processing it in a food processor until it resembles rice.
- Dice the pineapple.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Dice the onion.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
- Add the diced onion and minced garlic, sauté for about 2 minutes or until fragrant and translucent.
- Add the diced red pepper and chopped carrots to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes or until the vegetables are tender.
- Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Stir to combine and sauté for another 5 minutes, allowing the cauliflower to soften.
- Add the diced pineapple and continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes.
- Push the vegetable mixture to one side of the skillet. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the empty side.
- Pour the lightly beaten egg into the empty side of the skillet. Allow it to cook undisturbed for a few seconds, then scramble it with a spatula until fully cooked.
- Mix the scrambled egg into the vegetable mixture.
- Pour the soy sauce and chili sauce over the stir-fry. Stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Add a dash of salt to taste (you can adjust this to your preference).
- Continue to cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- Remove from heat and serve hot.
Tips:
- Make sure to chop all the vegetables uniformly to ensure even cooking.
- Use fresh pineapple for a more vibrant and juicy flavor.
- If you prefer a bit more heat, consider adding an extra teaspoon of chili sauce.
- You can also use coconut aminos as a soy sauce substitute to keep the recipe strictly paleo.
- Ensure the cauliflower rice is well-drained to avoid excess moisture in the dish.
- Cook the egg separately and add it at the end to maintain its texture and flavor.
