Cauliflower Fried Rice

A healthy, low-carb twist on takeout fried rice—packed with veggies, flavor, and ready in under 20 minutes!

  • 1 medium head cauliflower, riced (or 4 cups pre-riced)
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger, grated
  • ½ onion, diced
  • 1 cup carrots, diced
  • ½ cup frozen peas
  • 2 eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar (optional, for a tangy kick)
  • Salt & pepper, to taste
  1. Prep the cauliflower: If using a whole cauliflower, chop into florets and pulse in a food processor until rice-like.
  2. Sauté the aromatics: In a large nonstick pan or wok, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add garlic, ginger, and diced onion. Sauté until fragrant, about 2–3 minutes.
  3. Cook the veggies: Add carrots and cook for 3–4 minutes, until just tender. Stir in peas.
  4. Add the eggs: Push veggies to one side, pour in the eggs, and scramble until fully cooked. Mix everything together.
  5. Add the rice: Stir in the cauliflower rice, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring frequently, until cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
  6. Finish it off: Toss in green onions, season with salt and pepper, and serve hot!
