Directions
- Wash and dry the produce; set aside spinach if unwashed.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over medium‑high heat.
- Cut the bacon into small pieces.
- Cook the bacon in the hot skillet until crisp, 4–5 minutes; transfer to a paper towel–lined plate and reserve the drippings.
- Coarsely grate the cauliflower and place it in a medium bowl; set aside.
- Thinly slice the mushrooms.
- Return the skillet to medium‑high heat and cook the mushrooms until softened, about 5 minutes.
- Slice the green onions and mix half into the cauliflower bowl for later; reserve the rest for garnish.
- Add the cauliflower, green onions, and a little oil to the skillet; cook until the cauliflower softens and begins to brown, about 5 minutes.
- Whisk minced ginger and garlic with soy sauce and maple syrup to make the sauce; set aside.
- Stir in spinach in batches until just wilted, add the sauce, and cook 30 seconds more; remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
- In a separate skillet, heat oil over medium‑high and crack in the eggs; cook until the whites set and the yolks are still runny, about 4 minutes.
- Divide the cauliflower rice and eggs between plates, top with crispy bacon, the remaining green onions, and sesame seeds, and serve.
Two tips
- Prep the cauliflower and bacon ahead of time; store separately for quick assembly.
- For a lighter version, omit the bacon or replace it with extra mushrooms, and finish with a drizzle of soy sauce to taste.
