CAULIFLOWER FRIED RICE:

2 Tbl. Chicken Fat or Ghee
16 oz. Riced Cauliflower 
1/2 Sweet Onion, Diced 
3 Cloves Garlic, Minced 
12 oz. Frozen Mixed Veggies (green beans, peas, carrots, corn, as desired)
3 Eggs
1.5 Tsp. Coconut Aminos 
1 Tsp. Kosher Salt or to taste

In a bowl, mix eggs with coconut aminos. Set aside until ready to use. 

Heat chicken fat or ghee in a large skillet over medium high heat. When hot, add the onion and garlic. Allow to soften. Add the riced cauliflower, and mix well. Allow to sit for couple minutes to start getting crispy on the bottom. When cauliflower has some color, add the frozen veggies. Season with Kosher salt. Allow to saute until veggies are soft and cooked through. Remove to a bowl, and keep warm. 

In the same skillet, add a little more chicken fat or ghee if necessary. Add eggs and mix well to scramble. Combine with cauliflower fried rice. Taste, and adjust seasoning as needed.
