Make this quick and flavorful cauliflower fried rice. It is a low-carb, gluten-free alternative to traditional fried rice, perfect for a fast weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon avocado oil or sesame oil
  • 1 cup cooked, crumbled bacon or diced chicken/shrimp (optional)
  • 1 cup frozen mixed vegetables (peas, carrots, corn)
  • 1 small yellow onion, diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 (10 ounce) bag frozen riced cauliflower
  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
  • 3 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
  • 1 tablespoon oyster sauce (optional, for deeper flavor)
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 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 cooked bacon, chicken, or shrimp (if using) and cook until heated through, about 2 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook until softened, about 3 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  4. Add the frozen mixed vegetables and cook for 3 to 4 minutes until they begin to soften.
  5. Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet. Increase the heat to high and cook, stirring frequently, for 5 to 7 minutes to dry out the cauliflower and allow it to brown slightly.
  6. Push the cauliflower mixture to one side of the skillet. Pour the beaten eggs onto the empty side and scramble them until just set. Break the eggs into small pieces and mix them into the cauliflower.
  7. Return the cooked meat/protein to the skillet. Add the soy sauce, oyster sauce (if using), toasted sesame oil, and ground ginger. Stir everything together well to coat.
  8. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until the sauce is absorbed and the dish is hot throughout. Season with salt and pepper to your preference.
  9. Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions, and serve immediately.

Notes

  • For the best texture, press excess moisture out of the riced cauliflower before cooking if you are not using frozen.
  • If you skip the meat, this recipe works well as a vegetarian cauliflower fried rice by adding 4 ounces of cubed firm tofu during step 4.
  • Use tamari instead of soy sauce to keep this recipe gluten free.
