Total Time: 25 min

Ingredients  

1 tbsp Oil, sesame
4 eggs, whisked
16 ounces ground pork, 96% lean
3 Carrot (peeled and diced)
1 cup Green beans (chopped finely)
2 stalks Celery (diced)
1/4 cup Green onion (diced)
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1/2 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Pepper
1 head Cauliflower (grated into rice sized pieces)
1/4 cup Coconut aminos
1 tablespoon almond or peanut butter
1/2 tsp Red pepper flakes
1 tbsp Vinegar, rice

Instructions  

In a wok or large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add beaten eggs to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Cook for 1 minute until very lightly set, then fold. Remove the eggs from the pan.

Add the sesame oil to the same pan, then add the pork, carrots, celery, green beans, garlic, green onions, salt and pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes, or until pork is browned.

Add the cauliflower rice, coconut aminos, nut butter, rice vinegar and red pepper flakes to the pan. Cook for an additional 5-10 minutes, or until all the liquid has evaporated.

Add the lightly cooked eggs back to the pan and mix into the rice. Serve.
