  1. Chop the bacon and veggies so you everything is ready when you start cooking.

  4. Now you are ready to start cooking. Heat a large wok (or skillet) over medium heat. Add the bacon to the skillet and fry until brown and crispy. Remove from wok and set aside.
  5. Add the prepared shrimp to the bacon grease, cook until almost done. (2-3 minutes). Salt and pepper. Remove from wok and set aside. They will finish cooking when you add them back into the cauliflower mixture.
  6. Add 1-2 tablespoon of sesame seed oil to the remaining bacon grease. Add the garlic and ginger. Give a stir. Add cauliflower, white onion pieces (bottom). Stir to incorporate all the ingredients and allow the cauliflower to absorb some of the oil mixture. Add frozen mixed vegetables, red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until cauliflower is becoming tender.
  7. Make a well the center or push the cauliflower to the side and Add the eggs to the skillet and quickly scramble. Use your spoon to break into small pieces. If you need some oil for the eggs, add a small amount. When scrambled stir into cauliflower mixture.
  8. Add 1 tablespoons of Tamari soy sauce. Taste and add more in desired.
  9. Add bean sprouts, cilantro, green onion tops, reserved shrimp & bacon. Stir to incorporate and cook for another 1-2 minutes till they are warmed through.

Read through the recipe. Gather your ingredients. Mise en place. A French culinary phrase, which means everything in place. Prep everything first before you begin because once you start cooking its pretty quick.
