4 servings
- 1 medium head cauliflower (about 2 lbs), cut into florets
- 3 tbsp sesame oil, divided
- 3 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
Ingredient noteFresh ginger can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~3/4 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid fresh ginger, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 cup frozen peas and carrots, thawed
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
Chef's tipCoconut aminos are sweeter and less salty; taste and adjust the seasoning. - 1 tsp rice vinegar
- ¼ tsp white pepper
Ingredient noteWhite pepper can trigger interstitial cystitis symptoms in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/16 tsp per serving) is likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid white pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 3 green onions, thinly sliced
Ingredient noteInterstitial cystitis flags onions and the allium family as common bladder irritants, especially raw, but scallions are milder and this recipe uses only about 3/4 scallion per serving, so they are likely tolerated by many. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- 1 tsp sriracha (optional)

Instructions
- 1
Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor (or grate on the large holes of a box grater) until broken down into rice-sized pieces, about 3–4 cups total. Spread on a clean kitchen towel and press firmly to remove as much moisture as possible — the drier the cauliflower, the better it will brown.

Heat 1 tbsp of the sesame oil in a large (12-inch) skillet or wok over high heat until shimmering. Add the beaten eggs and scramble, stirring constantly, until just set and no wet egg remains, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
