- Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil to the pan, swirl to coat, and add the cauliflower rice, using a spatula to spread it into an even layer. Cook rice for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring every minute. Add the peas and carrots and sauce and stir-fry until the cauliflower rice is tender crisp and the peas and carrots are hot about 2 minutes.
- Mix in reserved eggs, ham, and green onions and cook for an additional minute.
- Serve topped with green onions and toasted sesame seeds
