Instructions

1. Step 1: Remove the core and chop 1 large cauliflower head into florets. Pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice, about 4 cups. Set aside.
2. Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Step 3: Add 1 diced medium carrot and 1 diced medium red bell pepper to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until vegetables soften but retain some crunch.
4. Step 4: Stir in the riced cauliflower, 4 thinly sliced scallions, 2 tbsp coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring frequently, until cauliflower rice is tender and slightly crisp on edges.
5. Step 5: Remove from heat, sprinkle with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds if using, and serve warm.
