Instructions:
- Prepare the Cauliflower Rice:

- Cook the Cauliflower Rice:
- Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of oil.

- In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of oil.
- Add the chopped onion, diced carrots, and frozen peas. Stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Add Garlic and Eggs:
- Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet. Add minced garlic to the other side and sauté for about 30 seconds.
- Push the garlic to the side, pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, and scramble them until just cooked.
- Combine Everything:
- Mix the cooked cauliflower rice with the vegetables and eggs in the skillet.
- Season with Soy Sauce and Ginger:
- Drizzle low-sodium soy sauce over the cauliflower mixture. Add grated ginger if desired. Stir well to combine.
- Adjust Seasoning:

- Garnish and Serve:
- Garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds if desired.
- Serve Warm:
