Equipment

Instant Pot

Ingredients

1 tbsp Butter
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 Onion finely chopped
1 tsp Minced Garlic
1 package Frozen Riced Cauliflower
1 cup Fresh Cauliflower Florets
1 cup Chicken Broth
2 Carrots peeled and sliced
½ cup Peas frozen
½ cup Green Beans frozen
1 Egg
¼ cup Soy Sauce
2 tbsp Brown Sugar
Green Onions
Coarse Ground Garlic Salt to taste
Coarse Ground Black Pepper to taste

Instructions

Place the butter and olive oil in the Instant Pot and press the SAUTÉ button.
When the butter melts, add the chopped onion and minced garlic and sauté until they are golden brown.
Turn off the SAUTÉ setting and add the riced cauliflower, cauliflower florets, frozen peas, frozen beans, sliced carrots and chicken broth.
Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. Start with ½ tsp of each and add more as needed.
Place the lid on the Instant Pot and press the MANUAL setting on HIGH to 4 minutes.
When the IP is done cooking, it will beep and go to OFF. Make sure the pressure has been released by turning the pressure valve from SEALING to VENTING. After the pressure is released, remove the lid from the IP.
Stir the riced cauliflower and vegetables and turn the SAUTÉ setting on.
Stir fry the cauliflower and vegetables until all the liquid is absorbed and the mixture is golden brown.
Move the riced cauliflower and vegetables to the side of the IP and break an egg into the IP on the other side. Scramble the egg and cook until it is completely done. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
When the egg is done, stir the cauliflower, vegetables and egg together, until well blended. Turn off the SAUTÉ setting.
Sprinkle with soy sauce and brown sugar and stir again to mix it all together.
Serve with chopped green onions! Enjoy

Notes

Feel free to use pre-packaged cauliflower rice or make your own by using a cheese grater or food processor.

Customize with your own ingredients, especially more fresh veggies.

Serve as an easy side dish.

Freezer Instructions: This is a wonderful option to freeze for later. Just put the cooked meal in an airtight container with a tight-fitting lid or freezer bag after you let it cool.

Store it for up to four months. To reheat, let it thaw overnight in the refrigerator and heat it up in a skillet with a little bit of olive oil. Toss it until it’s hot all the way through.
