This Cauliflower Fried Rice has quickly become a family favorite.  In fact, I have made it twice in the last week!  Last week when I made it, I did a story on Instagram while I was cooking and the video went crazy!! I got so many messages from people wanting the recipe — I promised that I would get it out this week.

The first time I made this recipe we had it with grilled chicken.  My youngest son said ” I love when you make your fried rice!” I told him that I changed it up a bit and this was actually cauliflower fried rice.   He said — ” I can’t even see the cauliflower — it’s really good!” 

Then I told him, there wasn’t any rice at all.  That the “rice” was cauliflower.  Him with mouth full of rice: “Wait. What? There’s no rice?”  Then continued to eat.  My kids love veggies so it’s a winning situation no matter how you look at it.  

Even more winning if you are watching your carbs.  Which is hard for me, because I really get cranky without them.  But this rice didn’t make me feel like I was missing out.  It makes enough for 4 side dishes, or you could have a nice meal for two with some grilled chicken, beef or shrimp as added protein.

Ingredients in Cauliflower Fried Rice:

• Cauliflower Rice (or chop your own)
• Green Onions, tops and bottoms
• Frozen Peas & Carrots
• Egg
• Garlic
• Low Sodium Soy Sauce
• Sesame Oil

I use my Lodge Cast Iron when I make my Fried Rice, it works great.  Someday though, I want to invest in a Wok again. I used to have one YEARS ago, and I miss it sometimes.  

At the end of the cooking, you will add the egg.  You can use the whole egg or just the white.  Or if you’re not into eggs, leave it out completely.  Push the cauliflower mixture to the side and add a little sesame oil to the pan, add the egg and scramble it.  When its cooked, incorporate it into the rice.  

My Other Fried Rice Recipes:

• Steak Fried Rice
• Kielbasa Fried Rice
• Fried Rice
• Ginger Basil Fried Rice

Any of these fried rice recipes would be great with cauliflower rice as a sticky rice substitution.  Lowers the carbs and the calories instantly.  It makes a great quick meal. Or you could try some of these:
