Ingredients
 
1/2 large head cauliflower
2 tbsp. vegetable oil
1 orange pepper, cut into thin 1/2" pieces
1 scallion, thinly sliced
1 2" piece ginger, cut into thin matchsticks
2 tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce
2 tsp. chili garlic paste
2 tsp. honey
4 large eggs
1 c. frozen peas, thawed
1 c. frozen edamame, thawed
Lime wedges, for serving
 
Directions
 
  1. Cut the cauliflower into florets, discarding the tough inner core and leaves. Working in batches, transfer the cauliflower to the bowl of a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower resembles rice, about 15 seconds (be careful not to over-process or cauliflower will get mushy). Set aside, then repeat with the remaining cauliflower (you should have about 4 cups of cauliflower).
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pepper, the white parts of the scallion, and the ginger; cook, stirring, 2 minutes. Add the cauliflower, toss to combine and cook, covered, stirring once, for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, chili garlic paste, and honey. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil, then the eggs, scrambling until cooked, 2 minutes.
  4. Remove skillet from heat and fold in the eggs, sauce, peas, and edamame. Serve with thinly sliced scallion greens and lime wedges.
