INSTRUCTIONS

1

Mix the 16 oz cauliflower with 2 medium eggs in a bowl.

Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the 2 oz smoked sliced sausage. Cook for 1 minute or until they’re slightly charred.

3

Add the 2 1/2 tbsp olive oil, 2 tbsp unsalted butter, and 1 tbsp garlic straight to the pan and cook for 1 minute or until fragrant.

4

Add 4 oz shrimp and cook for another minute. Remember to stir so all sides of the shrimp cook evenly.

Add 2 oz onions, 2 oz corn, 4 oz carrots, 4 oz green peas and spread them out in the pan. Leave them to cook for 5 minutes.

6

Add the cauliflower rice and stir occasionally (every 30 seconds or so). Cook them for 5 minutes.

7

Add 1 tsp brown sugar, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp ground black pepper, 2 tbsp scallion, and 1 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce. Stir well to work everything in and cook for another 2 minutes.

Turn off the heat and stir in the 4 oz cashews.

9

Serve: plate the rice, garnish with the 2 oz sliced leek, and enjoy.
