Ingredients
  

  • 1 packet Cauliflower Rice
  • 1 cup Chicken Broth
  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 2 Carrots peeled and sliced
  • 1 Onion
  • 1 teaspoon Minced Garlic
  • ½ cup Frozen Peas
  • ½ cup Green Beans
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 tablespoon Green Onions rinsed and diced
  • Garlic Salt
  • Pinch Black Pepper
  • ¼ cup Soy Sauce
  • 2 Tablespoons Brown sugar

Instructions
 

  • Place the butter and olive oil in the Instant Pot, and press the Sauté button. When the butter melts, put the chopped onion and minced garlic in the Instant Pot, and sauté until golden brown.
  • Turn off the Sauté setting and add the riced Cauliflower, frozen peas, frozen green beans, sliced carrots, and chicken broth. Sprinkle with garlic salt and pepper. 
  • Place the lid on the Instant Pot and press the Manual setting, and set the time for 4 minutes. Make sure the Pressure valve is set to SEALING, and press the Manual button again to start the Instant Pot. 
  • When the Instant Pot is done cooking it will beep and go to OFF; make sure all the pressure has been released by turning the pressure valve from Sealing to VENTING. Make sure the float valve is down, and remove the lid from the Instant Pot. 
  • Stir the riced cauliflower and vegetables, and turn the sauté setting on. Stir fry the cauliflower and vegetables, until all the liquid has been absorbed, and its golden brown. 
  • Move the riced cauliflower and vegetables to the side of the Instant Pot, and break the egg into the Instant Pot, scramble the egg, and cook until completely done (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 the soy sauce, and brown sugar over the fried rice, and stir again, mixing all ingredients. Serve, and top with chopped green onions. Enjoy!

Notes

Add Rice Vinegar for Balance: You can also add a bit of rice vinegar to the fried rice to balance out the umami from the soy sauce.
Perfect Cauliflower Rice Texture: Remember not to overcook the cauliflower rice. The key to getting the cauliflower fried rice to have the perfect texture is to add the cauliflower rice at the right step of the cooking process.
If You Don’t Have an Instant Pot: you can also choose to put the cauliflower fried rice in a large skillet. Just remember to cook the dish on medium heat and keep stirring occasionally.
  • Make Cauliflower Rice At Home: Cauliflower rice can be easily made at home by chopping fresh cauliflower into florets and then pulsing them in a food processor until they resemble the texture of rice.
