I recommend keeping each ingredient in its own bowl. Add the ginger, garlic and red pepper flakes to the edge of the pan. Cook, stirring at the edge of the pan, for about 30 seconds. Cut the florets off the head of cauliflower. Add to the steamer basket, doing it in batches if needed. Steam, covered, for 5 minutes. Add the carrots and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes. Add the meat and salt, and turn the heat to high. Break up while cooking, 2 minutes. Add the peas and cook for about 1 minute. Add the riced cauliflower and sauce. Stir it all together and cook until heated through. Pulse the florets in two batches until the consistency is rice like. Comb through to find the big heads to pulse again. Set aside. If using the egg, chop roughly and add to the pan. Taste to test the salt level, adding more if needed. Put the ghee or lard in a large skillet over medium heat. Preheat for a few minutes, then crack in the egg if using. Break the yolk, but don’t scramble. Cook 1–2 minutes per side until cooked through. Set aside. Leave the burner on. Serve with toppings of your choice. I use chopped cilantro, sliced scallions and a Paleofriendly sriracha sauce. Outfit a pot with a steamer, and fill with as much water as you can without touching the bottom of the steamer. Turn to high. Mix together the sesame seed oil, tomato paste, honey and fish sauce. Set aside.
