Heat a skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to warm.  Add the Mirepoix and garlic and cook until starting to soften, about 4-5 minutes.  

Add the riced cauliflower and green peas to the pan and mix everything together.  Lightly season with salt, freshly ground black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes and stir to mix well.  Add the "soy" sauce to the mixture and give it a good stir.
