Ingredients
1 medium cauliflower, about 1.2 kg, cut into florets
4 tsp sesame oil, divided
3 eggs, beaten
1 skinless, boneless chicken breast, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup frozen peas
1 cup frozen corn
1 red bell pepper, diced
1/2 tsp salt
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tbsp hoisin sauce

Instructions
PULSE cauliflower in a food processor until it resembles rice. It should measure about 7 cups.
HEAT an extra-large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 2 tsp sesame oil, then eggs. Stir often until eggs are softly set, 1 to 2 min. Transfer to a small bowl.
ADD remaining 2 tsp oil to pan, then chicken and garlic. Cook until no pink remains, about 3 min. Add peas, corn, bell pepper and salt. Cook, stirring often, until pepper is tender, 5 to 6 min. Stir in cauliflower, eggs, soy and hoisin. Season with fresh pepper. Sprinkle with green onion.

How to make cauliflower rice without a food processor
Don't run out and buy a food processor! You can use a box grater. It'll just take a bit longer (as well as a little more elbow grease), but this method has some advantages. Simply cut a head of cauliflower in chunks (think large florets) and grate using the medium-sized holes.
