Make this healthy, low-carb cauliflower fried rice in under 20 minutes. It is a flavorful, gluten-free alternative to traditional takeout fried rice, perfect for weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
  • 1 pound frozen cauliflower rice (or 1 medium head of fresh cauliflower, riced)
  • 4 ounces cooked chicken breast, diced (optional, for Healthy Chicken Fried Rice)
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 1 cup mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, diced onion)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari (for Gluten Free Fried Rice)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Heat the avocado or sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.
  2. Add the beaten eggs to the skillet and scramble until just set. Remove the eggs and set them aside.
  3. Add the mixed vegetables, garlic, and ginger to the skillet. Stir fry for 2-3 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
  4. Add the frozen cauliflower rice to the skillet. Spread it out and let it cook without stirring for 3 minutes to allow some moisture to evaporate.
  5. Stir fry the cauliflower rice for another 5-7 minutes until it is tender and slightly browned. This step is key for Better Than Takeout Fried Rice texture.
  6. Return the cooked eggs to the skillet. If using, add the diced chicken.
  7. Pour in the soy sauce/tamari and toasted sesame oil. Stir everything together quickly to coat evenly.
  8. Cook for 1 more minute. Season with black pepper.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately as a Low Calorie Dinner Idea or Meal Prep Cauliflower Rice base.

Notes

  • If you prefer a Vegetarian Fried Rice, skip the chicken and add 1/2 cup of cubed tofu or edamame for protein.
  • For the best texture, ensure your cauliflower rice is dry before adding it to the pan. If using fresh cauliflower, pulse it in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
  • Use coconut aminos instead of soy sauce for a lower-sugar, Whole30-friendly option.
